Book Synopsis



La guerra en el cuerpo, su furia en la piel.

Entre lo que realmente fue y lo que pudo haber sido, Catalina de Erauso forjó su propia leyenda. La de una mujer que, como pocas, se atrevió a transgredir cualquier tipo de orden en el siglo XVII, incluso el que le imponía su propio cuerpo.

Hija de una acomodada familia de San Sebastián, la menor de seis hermanos, fue internada en un convento de dominicas a los cuatro años. Desde el principio, su rebeldía y su intransigencia fueron evidentes. A los quince años, huyó, escapó y salió al mundo. Decidió vestir ropas de hombre y vivir su vida como un varón. A partir de entonces, nada de lo humano le fue ajeno. La furia y la guerra marcaron tanto su piel como cada uno de sus días. Con su identidad apócrifa, viajó sin rumbo. Cruzó el Atlántico y luchó, mató por su rey, pero también por sí misma. Miró a la muerte a los ojos no una sino cien veces. Prófuga y encendida, buscó la paz y solo encontró arrebato en cada lugar al que la llevaron sus tormentas.

Con un estilo inconfundible, Florencia Canale convierte La cruzada en una novela única que rompe con géneros y modas. Reescribe la historia de la "Monja Alférez", una obra que puede disfrutarse como un relato de aventuras y hazañas, pero que también profundiza en la complejidad y el misterio de una mujer que intentó escapar del mundo y de sí misma.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The war in the body, its fury on the skin.

Between what truly happened and what could have been, Catalina de Erauso forged her own legend. That of a woman who, like few others, dared to defy any form of order in the 17th century, even the one imposed by her own body.

Born into a wealthy family in San Sebastián, the youngest of six siblings, she was placed in a Dominican convent at the age of four. From the start, her rebelliousness and defiance were evident. At fifteen, she fled, escaped, and stepped into the world. She decided to wear men's clothing and live her life as a man. From then on, nothing human was foreign to her. Fury and war marked both her skin and every one of her days. With her false identity, she wandered without direction. She crossed the Atlantic and fought, killed for her king, but also for herself. She stared death in the eyes not once but a hundred times. A fugitive and ablaze, she sought peace and found only turmoil wherever her storms carried her.

With an unmistakable style, Florencia Canale turns La cruzada into a unique novel that breaks away from genres and trends. She rewrites the story of the "Monja Alférez", a work that can be enjoyed as a tale of adventure and feats, but also delves into the complexity and mystery of a woman who tried to escape the world--and herself.
