Overview
UNA HISTORIA DE ESPAÑA COMO NUNCA SE HA CONTADO
EL ORLANDO ESPAÑOL, POR EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO NACIONAL DE LA CRÍTICA Y EL PREMIO OJO CRÍTICO
«Leonís confirma que no hay nadie como él en nuestra literatura». –Eduardo Lago
«Simplemente, un genio». –Miguel Dalmau, La Vanguardia
Inés de Padilla nace en 1469 y con quince años logra entrar en la Universidad de Salamanca en un momento en el que los estudios estaban vedados a las mujeres salvo en casos excepcionales como el de Beatriz Galindo. Allí conoce al hombre con el que mantendrá una larga historia intermitente de amor. Ya en Madrid, entra en la corte de los Reyes Católicos y se convierte en dama de Juana la Loca. Amante de Juan de Padilla, participa en la revuelta de los comuneros. Pero, a comienzos del siglo XVI, se percata de un hecho inexplicable: no ha envejecido ni un solo día desde que cumplió veinticinco años. Y así sigue viviendo, sorteando peligros, hasta los albores del siglo XXI.
Esta asombrosa novela de aventuras, en la que la ficción se entrelaza con maestría con la realidad, constituye un homenaje a la literatura española. En ella resuenan los ecos del Orlando de Virginia Woolf pero, por encima de todo, es una narración de largo aliento sobre la historia de España y sobre el papel determinante que las mujeres han desempeñado en ella a través del tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A HISTORY OF SPAIN AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD.
THE SPANISH ORLANDO, BY THE RECIPIENT OF THE NATIONAL CRITICS AWARD AND THE CRITICAL EYE AWARD.
“Leonis confirms there is no one like him in our literature.” —Eduardo Lago
“Simply, a genius.” —Miguel Dalmau, La Vanguardia
Inés de Padilla is born in 1469, and at fifteen she is admitted into the University of Salamanca, at a time when women were banned from studying, safe in exceptional circumstances, such as Beatriz Galindo’s. There she meets the man with whom she will have a long, on-and-off romance. Once in Madrid, she enters Ferdinand and Isabella’s court, and becomes lady-in-waiting to Joanne the Mad. Being the lover of Juan de Padilla, she participates in the revolt of the comuneros. But at the beginning of the sixteenth century, she becomes aware of an inexplicable fact: she hasn’t aged a day since she turned twenty-five. And so, she keeps on living, overcoming dangers, up until the early twenty-first century.
This amazing adventure novel, where fiction is masterfully intermixed with reality, constitutes a homage to Spanish literature. In it we hear the echoes of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, but most of all it is a winding narrative about the history of Spain and the decisive role of women through time.
