The Francisco Umbral Library in Majadahonda hosted the presentation of the novel Los Ilusionistas by writer Marcos Giralt Torrente, published by Anagrama. The event was attended by several council members and Doña Lola, who offered some formal remarks, in an act described as "barren" in the political-cultural sphere.

A bright future was announced for the building that housed the Rosa Agazzi, the only property in Majadahonda to survive the Civil War. The presentation of Giralt Torrente's work took place at the same location where the Francisco Umbral Award was born, following its initial presentation at the Community of Madrid headquarters.

The author, Marcos Giralt Torrente, is a prominent figure in contemporary Spanish literature. Critic Fernando R. Lafuente highlighted that the author not only "strips his family members bare" but leaves them "completely exposed," referring to the intimate and realistic nature of his work. José Andrés Rojo also participated in the conversation, offering a more concise intervention.

The novel Los Ilusionistas is described as a masterpiece of 2025, focusing on the story of a family. The text calls it realistic and picaresque, with fantastic touches added by "postizos" or in-laws. The painter Giralt, the author's father, is mentioned as an inspiration for the book Tiempo de vida, and homage is paid to Josefina Malvido, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester's first wife.

The article also evokes the figure of Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, Marcos's father, and his exile in the United States, where he found the conditions to develop his literary work. The presentation was attended by the Majadahonda public, including Teresa Fernández Herrera, noted for her loyalty.
