The Garden of the Hesperides is a literary memoir of the lives and works of two of Spain's most important painters -- Diego de Silva Velazquez and Salvador Dali. As the title suggests, the story frame of the novel is that of the mythical, Herculean quest to find the ever-elusive Garden of the Hesperides, and by seducing the lovely nymphs that attend it and by conquering the demon-dragon that guards it, to gain immortality.
