En un turbulento siglo XII, Leola, campesina adolescente, desnuda a un guerrero muerto en un campo de batalla y se viste con sus ropas de hierro, para protegerse bajo un disfraz viril. Así comienza el vertiginoso y emocionante relato de su vida, una peripecia existencial que no es sólo la de Leola sino también la nuestra, porque esta novela de aventuras con ingredientes fantásticos nos está hablando en realidad del mundo actual y de lo que todos somos.
Galardonada con los premios Qué Leer y Mandarache, Historia del Rey Transparente es un insólito viaje a una Edad Media desconocida que se huele y se siente sobre la piel, un relato que conmueve por su grandeza épica, uno de esos libros que no se leen, sino que se viven.
Cuando se cumplen veinte años de su publicación, Alfaguara presenta esta edición especial de aniversario que cuenta con material inédito y un epílogo escrito por la autora para la ocasión. Original y poderosa, esta novela de Rosa Montero tiene esa fuerza desbordante de los libros llamados a convertirse en clásicos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Twentieth anniversary of an original and powerful novel, with the overflowing strength of books destined to become classics.
In a turbulent twelfth century, teenage farmgirl Leola undresses a dead warrior on a battlefield and puts on his iron garments to protect herself under a manly disguise. Thus begins her vertiginous and exciting life story, an existential adventure that is not only Leola’s, but our own, since this adventure novel with fantasy ingredients speaks truly of the world today and what we all are.
Awarded the Qué Leer and Mandarache awards, The Story of the Translucent King is an extraordinary journey to an unknown Middle Ages that you can smell and feel on your skin; a moving tale for its epic grandeur, one of those books that are not read, but lived.
Twenty years after being published, Alfaguara presents this special anniversary edition with unpublished material and an epilogue by the author to mark the occasion. Original and powerful, this Rosa Montero novel has that overflowing strength of books destined to become classics.
