Synopsis "Historia del rey Transparente (in Spanish)"

Siente el corazón que late bajo la piel de hierro. Un insólito y original viaje a la edad media. 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. Historia del Rey Transparente es un insólito viaje a una Edad Media desconocida que se huele y se siente sobre la piel, es una fábula que conmueve por su grandeza épica, es uno de esos libros que no se leen, sino que se viven. Original y poderosa, la novela de Rosa Montero tiene esa fuerza desbordante de los libros llamados a convertirse en clásicos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the turbulent twelfth century, Leola, a young peasant girl, takes a dead warrior’s armor to hide behind the mask of a man. This is the beginning of the dramatic voyage into the story of her life. It is an extraordinary journey into the unknown side of the Middle Ages. It is a fable that will move us by its sheer epic greatness, one of those books that is not read but lived, breathed, and tasted. Montero’s novel is bursting with the power of a literary work on its way to becoming a classic. --Este texto se refiere a la edición Paperback .
