Alberto Caliani, el autor revelación de la novela histórica y galardonado con dos Premios Hislibris 2021, vuelve con una novela que hará temblar los cimientos del género.
Turín, siglo XVI. Esta es una historia sobre hombres corruptos que persiguen un fin noble, y hombres nobles que cometen atrocidades.
También es un relato de locura y superstición; de un inquisidor implacable y de una joven ingeniera adelantada a su tiempo; de un padre y un hijo que se odian y se necesitan; de un buscavidas sin escrúpulos que descubrirá que vale más de lo que él mismo cree; de una adolescente que huye de sí misma hasta encontrarse al borde de la muerte, y de un misterioso asesino invisible que acecha entre las sombras.
Pero, sobre todo, es una epopeya de violencia e intrigas para acabar con el papa de Roma y con las poderosas familias que mantienen dividida a una Italia debilitada por la guerra. Y todo ello, respaldado por una gran mentira que perdurará a través de los siglos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE. WELCOME TO CHAOS.
Alberto Caliani, the breakout author of the historical novel honored with two 2021 Hislibris awards, returns with a story that will shake the very foundations of the genre.
Turin, sixteenth century. This is a story about corrupt men with a noble pursuit, and noblemen who commit atrocities.
It is also a tale of madness and superstition; of a merciless inquisitor and a young engineer born ahead of her time; of a father and son that hate and need each other; of an unscrupulous hustler who will discover he is worth more than he believes; of a teenager fleeing from herself until she finds herself at the brink of death, and of a mysterious invisible murderer lurking in the dark.
But above all, it is an epic tale of violence and intrigues to destroy the Pope in Rome and the powerful families that keep a war-weakened Italy divided, all underpinned by a huge lie that will last throughout the ages.
