Overview

Tras El mapa del fin del mundo, Ignasi Serrahima nos lleva en una fascinante aventura a través de una época convulsa y un oficio desconocido para muchos, revelándonos que hay personas que no se rinden hasta hacer realidad sus sueños.

«Mi nombre es Alamanda, soy cristiana, y tengo mucho todavía que vivir».

Un viaje épico por el Mediterráneo medieval.

El secreto de un color escondido en un libro durante siglos.

Cataluña, siglo XV. Alamanda, vendida como esclava por su propio padre cuando todavía era solo una niña, descubre en la biblioteca del monasterio de Sant Benet, entre los anaqueles de los libros prohibidos, el secreto del color más maravilloso que jamás ha sido capaz de crear la humanidad: la púrpura.

Símbolo de emperadores, papas y reyes, mil veces más cara que el oro, la púrpura fue forjador de imperios comerciales en la Antigüedad, pero la técnica de obtención de este pigmento se perdió inexplicablemente en la bruma de los tiempos. Solo una muchacha será capaz de devolver al mundo el color del Imperio.

De la Barcelona amurallada y gremial a la pujante Venecia, de la Constantinopla ostentosa y decadente a las ruinas de Tiro, el viaje épico y el éxito de una mujer sola en un mundo de hombres asombra al mundo y la coloca en el centro de las intrigas de los poderosos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After The Map of the End of the World, Ignasi Serrahima takes us on a fascinating adventure through a turbulent time and a job unknown to many, revealing that there are people who don’t give up until they make their dreams come true.

«My name is Alamanda, I am a Christian, and I still have a lot to live for.»

An epic journey through the medieval Mediterranean.


The secret of a color hidden in a book for centuries.

Catalonia, 15th century. Alamanda, sold as a slave by her own father when she was still just a child, discovers in the library of Sant Benet monastery, between the shelves of for bidden books, the secret of the most wonderful color that humanity has ever been able to create: purple.

Symbol of emperors, popes and kings, a thousand times more expensive than gold, purple was the forger of commercial empires in ancient times, but the technique to obtain this pigment was inexplicably lost in the mist of time. Only a girl will be able to restore the color of the Empire to the world.

From walled and guild Barcelona to thriving Venice, from ostentatious and decadent Constantinople to the ruins of Tire, the epic journey and success of a single woman in a man's world astonishes everyone and places her at the center of intrigues of the powerful.
