Cinco años después de trabajar al servicio del famoso inquisidor del siglo XIV, Bernard de Gui, Helié Bernier se ha convertido en un respetable fabricante de pergaminos y está intentando olvidarse de su vida de engaño. Pero todo cambia cuando recibe un encargo de la Inquisición que lo obliga a retomar su antigua actividad: infiltrarse en un grupo herético y averiguar el paradero de un inquisidor que había intentado desenmascararlo. En sus pesquisas, Bernier se ve envuelto en una peligrosa conspiración, pero deberá llevar a cabo la misión que se le ha encomendado sin perder de vista su obligación moral de revelar la Verdad. Turns out I'd read this before - in 2012 - though it took a few chapters to remember, and I persevered because it was a good tale. Catherine Jinks is an excellent writer, and she recounts this story in first person. The view is that of an Inquisitor in the South of France. It is a subtle, intricate and compelling story. The novel covers dark subjects, suffering and fanacticism - but it is also often witty. This is historical fiction of a very high standard. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"I hereby record those events which took place in and around the city of Lazet relating to the assassination of our venerable Brother Augustin Duese in the year of the Incarnate Word, 1318." So writes Brother Bernard, an Inquisitor of Heretical Depravity, following the discovery of his superior's dismembered corpse. At a time when heresy is a heinous offence, routed out with ruthless determination, Brother Bernard is accustomed to dispensing harsh justice. But as he attempts to make sense of this shocking crime, he himself becomes an object of persecution-thanks to his passionate involvement with a mysterious suspect and her beautiful daughter. Pursued as a heretic, implicated as a murderer, Bernard must now face his accusers. To fail such a task, in fourteenth century France, means certain death. In the tradition of "The Name of the Rose," Catherine Jinks has crafted a magnificent tale of murder, forbidden lust and betrayal. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
