Catalina

by W. Somerset Maugham, Andrei Bantas (Translator)

Overview

Catalina, o tinara infirma de saisprezece ani, este singura din oras care nu poate participa la Sarbatoarea Inaltarii. Cind orice speranta pare zadarnica, o viziune a Fecioarei Maria o elibereaza. In zilele intunecate ale Inchizitiei spaniole, o asemenea minune nu poate scapa neobservata, mai ales cind tinara eroina se indeparteaza de preceptele Bisericii.

"Ultimul roman al lui Somerset Maugham, Catalina, este o celebrare plina de romantism a Spaniei si o satira plina de finete si sensuri adinci la adresa ignorantei si a absolutismului religios.“ (Booklist)
