7En la opulenta C rdoba de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, un joven morisco, desgarrado entre dos culturas y dos amores, inicia una ardiente lucha por la tolerancia religiosa y los derechos de su pueblo.

La historia de un joven atrapado entre dos religiones y dos amores, en busca de su libertad y la de su pueblo, en la Andaluc a del siglo XVI.

En 1568, en los valles y montes de las Alpujarras, ha estallado el grito de la rebeli n: hartos de injusticias, expolio y humillaciones, los moriscos se enfrentan a los cristianos e inician una desigual pugna que s lo puede terminar con su derrota y dispersi n por todo el reino de Castilla.

Entre los sublevados se encuentra el joven Hernando. Hijo de una morisca y del sacerdote que la viol , es rechazado por los moriscos, debido a su origen, y por los cristianos, por la cultura y costumbres de su familia.

Durante la insurrecci n conoce la brutalidad y crueldad de unos y otros, pero tambi n encuentra el amor en la figura de la valerosa F tima, la de los grandes ojos negros. A partir de la derrota, forzado a vivir en C rdoba y en medio de las dificultades de la existencia cotidiana, todas sus fuerzas se concentrar n en lograr que su cultura y religi n, las de los vencidos, recuperen la dignidad y el papel que merecen. Para ello deber correr riesgos y atreverse a desafiar las leyes con audaces y peligrosas iniciativas...

Los lectores de La catedral del mar encontrar n en esta segunda novela de su autor las mismas claves que llevaron al xito a la primera: la fidelidad hist rica, que se entrevera con un apasionado relato de amor y odio, de ilusiones perdidas y esperanzas que dan sentido a la vida y la lanzan por los caminos de la aventura. De ese modo, su autor construye una trepidante novela que pretende reflejar la tragedia del pueblo morisco, ahora que se cumple el cuarto centenario de su expulsi n de Espa a, y que tambi n relata una vida singular, la de un hombre fronterizo y enamorado que nunca se resign a la derrota y luch por la convivencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the opulent C rdoba of the second half of the 16th century, a Moorish young man, torn between two cultures and two loves, launches an ardent battle for religious tolerance and the rights of his people.

The story of a young man trapped between two religions and two loves, in search of his freedom and that of his people, in 16th-century Andalucia.

In 1568, in the valleys and mountains of the Alpujarras, a rebellion has been sparked: tired of injustice, pillaging, and humiliation, the Moors confront the Christians and start an uneven fight that can only end with their defeat and dispersion throughout Castile.

Among the rebels is young Hernando. Son of a Moorish woman and the priest who raped her, he is rejected by Moors because of his background, and by Christians because of his family's culture and customs.

During the insurrection, he experiences brutality and cruelty, but he also finds love in the shape of the brave F tima, the girl with the large black eyes. After the defeat, forced to live in C rdoba and in the midst of a difficult daily existence, all of his efforts go to regaining the dignity that his culture and his religion deserve. To do that, he must take risks and challenge the laws with bold, dangerous initiatives...
