Un maravilloso ensayo que parte de la caza de las brujas en el Renacimiento, una guerra contra las mujeres que resuena aún hoy.

A comienzos de la Edad Moderna tuvo lugar en Europa una caza de brujas en la que se persiguió a centenares de miles de personas, la gran mayoría mujeres, y se asesinó a unas sesenta mil. Qué sabemos de las condenadas? Y de sus acusadores? Y, sobre todo, cuál pudo ser el motivo de semejante locura?

Adela Muñoz Páez, una de las ensayistas actuales más brillantes, ofrece respuestas a estas preguntas y explora el proceso, orquestado durante siglos por la Iglesia, que convirtió a las mujeres en chivos expiatorios de una sociedad extraordinariamente misógina. Al contrario de lo que suele pensarse, las persecuciones más agresivas no se dieron en España, las penas más crueles no las impusieron los tribunales eclesiásticos, y la Inquisición no fue el brazo ejecutor de la caza, sino la principal opositora a la misma. El texto se ocupa además de herejías, bulas papales, grimorios, exorcismos y hechizos, y rememora los juicios de las brujas de Salem y Zugarramurdi, así como la historia de sus perseguidores y de sus defensores.

Aunque no hubo aquelarres ni vuelos de brujas, sí hubo dolor y muerte en las hogueras prendidas a lo largo y ancho de la Europa de la época. En nombre de las brujas cuyas voces no serán oídas jamás, hemos de ayudar a poner freno a la superstición y el odio que aún hoy siguen cobrándose decenas de miles de vidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A wonderful essay that begins with the witch hunts in the Renaissance, a war against women that still resonates today.

At the beginning of the Modern Era there was a witch hunt in Europe, where hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, were persecuted and about sixty thousand were killed. What do we know about those convicted? About their accusers? And above all, what could motivate such madness?

Adela Muñoz Páez, one of today's most brilliant essayists, answers these questions and explores the process--orchestrated for centuries by the Catholic Church--that turned women into scapegoats for an extraordinarily misogynistic society. Contrary to what you might think, the most aggressive persecutions didn't happen in Spain, the cruelest punishments were not imposed by ecclesiastical courts, and the Inquisition was not the executive arm in the hunt, but the main objector. This text also focuses on heresy, papal bulls, grimoires, exorcisms, and spells, and remembers the witch trials at Salem and Zugarramurdi, as well as the history of their persecutors and defenders.

Even though there weren't any covens or witches flying, there was pain and death in those fires lit all across Europe at the time. On behalf of the witches whose voices will never be heard, we must help stop superstition and hatred, still claiming dozens of thousands of lives today.
