Una catedral construida por el pueblo y para el pueblo en la Barcelona medieval es el escenario de una apasionante historia de intriga, violencia y pasi n.
Siglo XIV. La ciudad de Barcelona se encuentra en su momento de mayor prosperidad; ha crecido hacia la Ribera, el humilde barrio de los pescadores, cuyos habitantes deciden construir, con el dinero de unos y el esfuerzo de otros, el mayor templo mariano jam s conocido: Santa Mar a de la Mar.
Una construcci n que es paralela a la azarosa historia de Arnau, un siervo de la tierra que huye de los abusos de su se or feudal y se refugia en Barcelona, donde se convierte en ciudadano y, con ello, en hombre libre.
El joven Arnau trabaja como palafrenero, estibador, soldado y cambista. Una vida extenuante, siempre al amparo de la catedral de la mar, que le iba a llevar de la miseria del fugitivo a la nobleza y la riqueza. Pero con esta posici n privilegiada tambi n le llega la envidia de sus pares, que urden una s rdida conjura que pone su vida en manos de la Inquisici n.
La catedral del mar es una trama en la que se entrecruzan lealtad y venganza, traici n y amor, guerra y peste, en un mundo marcado por la intolerancia religiosa, la ambici n material y la segregaci n social. Todo ello convierte esta obra no s lo en una novela absorbente, sino tambi n en la m s fascinante y ambiciosa recreaci n de las luces y sombras de la poca feudal.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Now a Netflix Series.An unforgettable fresco of a golden age in fourteenth-century Barcelona, Cathedral of the Sea is a thrilling historical novel of friendship and revenge, plague and hope, love and war.
Arnau Estanyol arrives in Barcelona to find a city dominated by the construction of the city's great pride--the cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar--and by its shame, the deadly Inquisition. As a young man, Arnau joins the powerful guild of stoneworkers and helps to build the church with his own hands, while his best friend and adopted brother Joanet studies to become a priest. With time, Arnau prospers and falls secretly in love with a forbidden woman. But when he is betrayed and hauled before the Inquisitor, he finds himself face-to-face with Joanet. Will he lose his life just as his beloved Cathedral of the Sea is finally completed, or will his brother save him?Sus siguientes obras fueron La mano de Fátima (Grijalbo, 2009), que narra la expulsión de los moriscos de la Península y que fue galardonada con el premio Roma 2010, y La reina descalza(Grijalbo, 2013), que recoge la historia de dos mujeres que luchan por la libertad y la dignidad de los más oprimidos en la España del siglo XVIII, merecedora del premio Pencho Cros 2013.
