Synopsis "El queso y los gusanos (in Spanish)"

Norte de Italia, finales del siglo XVI. El Santo Oficio acusa de herejía a un molinero, Domenico Scandella, al que todos llaman Menocchio. El procesado sostiene que el mundo se originó en «un caos» del que surgió «una masa, como se hace el queso con la leche, y en él se formaron gusanos, y éstos fueron los ángeles». A lo largo de dos procesos inquisitoriales la peculiar cosmogonía del reo se opone tozudamente a la de aquellos que le interrogan.

A partir del análisis de las creencias de Menocchio ?finalmente declarado culpable y sentenciado a arder en la hoguera? y de los expedientes judiciales del caso, Carlo Ginzburg reconstruye en este clásico contemporáneo un fragmento de la llamada «cultura popular» ?condenada, en general, al ostracismo? que se erige, por su singularidad, en símbolo de su tiempo y en una especie de eslabón perdido de un mundo oscuro, difícilmente asimilable al presente, pero del que de alguna manera somos deudores.

He holds a PhD in Philosophy and Letters from the University of Pisa. An original historian, sometimes provocative, he has tried to demonstrate the limitations of certain aspects of traditional historical methodology and has established himself as one of the main representatives of the so-called "microhistory", of which The Cheese and the Worms (1976) is one of the most complete examples.

He has taught at the universities of Bologna, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and California, and his works, which include The Night Battles, The Clues about Piero, The Night History, and Wooden Eyes, have been translated into about twenty languages.
