Item description from seller

Paperback. Recuperacion de una obra iconica de Jose Luis Corral en el ano del octavo centenario de la construccion de la Catedral de Burgos. La primera mitad del siglo XIII fue el tiempo de las mujeres y de las catedrales, una epoca de culto a la poesia, al amor y a la inteligencia. Su manifestacion artistica mas sublime fue la catedral gotica, donde se fusionaron de manera sublime la belleza estilistica, el orgullo ciudadano y la espiritualidad cristiana. Pero este tiempo fue tambien una epoca de persecuciones religiosas que obligaron a la clandestinidad y al silencio a personajes como la protagonista de El numero de Dios, Teresa Rendol. Hija de un maestro pintor cataro y pintora ella misma desde muy joven, su azarosa vida la llevo a ser testigo privilegiado de la construccion de las catedrales de Burgos y Leon, y a entrar en contacto con uno de los secretos mejor guardados, transmitidos de generacion en generacion entre el gremio de arquitectos, el numero de Dios, el secreto sobre el que se sustento la construccion de las catedrales en el nuevo estilo importado de Francia. En esta novela, reeditada ahora por B de Bolsillo, Jose Luis Corral ofrece una fascinante y sensual mirada sobre unos anos decisivos en la evolucion artistica e ideologica de la historia de Europa, al tiempo que desentrana un misterio de extraordinaria magnitud.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The revival of an iconic work by Jose Luis Corral in the year of the eighth centenary of theconstruction of The Burgos Cathedral. The first half of the 13th century was a time of women and cathedrals, of poetry worshiping, love, and intelligence. Its most sublime artistic manifestation was the gothic cathedral, where beauty, civic pride, and Christian spirituality were divinely combined. It was also a time of religious persecution that forced characters like the protagonist of Gods Number, Teresa Rendol, into hiding and silence. Daughter of a Cathar master painter, and being a painter herself from a very young age, her eventful life led her to be a privileged witness to the construction of the cathedrals of Burgos and Leon; and, to know one of the best-kept secrets, transmitted from generation to generation among the guild of architects, the so-called Gods Number, the secret on which the construction of the cathedrals was based. In this novel, now republished by B de Bolsillo, Jose Luis Corral offers a fascinating and sensual look at some decisive years in the artistic and ideological evolution of the history of Europe, while unraveling a mystery of extraordinary magnitude.
