La hija del Papa - Spanish Edition - The Pope's Daughter
Author: Cesar Vidal

Rome, 1871. The Government of a recently unified Italy summons cavaliere Di Fonso to examine a priceless manuscript guarded by the Jesuits. It does not take long for Di Fonso to date the manuscript to the early sixteenth century, a time where Italy was being torn apart by the constant rivalries with Spain and France and the intrigues of the Papa... more »l court, subjugated by a Spaniard from the Borgia family who was crowned as Pope Alexander VI. Adding to its import, the manuscript was also the last letter written by Lucrezia Borgia, the Pope's illegitimate daughter, to Venetian scholar and Cardinal Pietro Bembo, recalling their past love affair. Could the document be used to undermine the power of the Catholic Church in the new Italy? Does it contain information that could favor the new usurpers of power in the Peninsula? Does its value lie merely in its literary and historic value or could it pervade other aspects? Spanish Description: Roma, 1871. El cavaliere Di Fonso es convocado por el gobierno que acaba de unificar Italia para que examine un manuscrito de extraordinario valor custodiado hasta entonces por los jesuitas. Di Fonso no tarda en descubrir que el texto fue redactado a inicios del siglo XVI, una epoca en que Italia se encontraba desgarrada por los enfrentamientos entre potencias como Espana y Francia y por las intrigas de la corte papal, sometida a un espanol de la familia Borja coronado con el nombre de Alejandro VI. El manuscrito ademas es la ultima misiva escrita por Lucrezia Borgia, la mismisima hija del papa, a Pietro Bembo, el humanista que creo la lengua italiana, recordandole un amor vivido por ambos tiempo atras. Podra ser utilizado aquel documento para socavar el poder de la Iglesia catolica en la nueva Italia? Contiene informaciones que sean susceptibles de favorecer a los nuevos detentadores del poder en la peninsula? Tiene una relevancia que vaya mas alla del mero interes literario e historico? Di Fonso se entregara a la tarea de responder a esas preguntas, y asi dara con revelaciones sepultadas en el silencio durante siglos a causa del interes de Estado. La hija del papa es un retrato vigoroso, documentado y ameno de la Italia del Renacimiento en que los pontifices eran principes guerreros y protectores de mecenas; en que los sabios se esforzaban por conciliar a los clasicos griegos y latinos con el Nuevo Testamento; y en que los mas espirituales gemian por una Reforma que purificara a la Iglesia de pecados de siglos. Se trata pues de otra novela magistral de Cesar Vidal en la que nos acercamos al amor y a la muerte, a la ambicion y a la belleza, a la amistad y al poder.
