BOOKS
WE START WITH A BOOK OF CLASSIC NOVEL
CUMBRES BORRASCOSAS
BY EMILY BRONTE
This is a stormy and above all profound passionate novel that has been
considered a classic of English literature. It tells a dramatic and tragic
story of love, revenge, hatred, madness, life and death.
It tells the epic story of Catherine and Heathcliff. Set in the bleak and
desolate Yorkshire moors, it is an astonishing metaphysical vision of
destiny, obsession, passion and revenge. First published in 1847, a year
before the death of its author, this work completely broke with the
canons of "decorum" that Victorian England required of all literary
production.

BIOGRAPHY
CORAZÓN DE LA PIEDRA
BY JOSÉ MARÍA GARCÍA LÓPEZ
Daughter of the Emperor Maximilian II of Habsburg and Maria of Austria,
Archduchess Margarita is, together with the Castilian composer Tomás Luis de
Victoria, the central figure in this ambitious novel whose deep imagery
transcends the historical genre. Set in the Europe of the wars of religion and
the Black Legend during the reigns of Felipe II to Felipe IV, this altarpiece of
chimeras and shadows portrays the power and glory of key characters such as
the mysterious Emperor Rudolph II in his court of alchemists of the Prague
Castle, artists like Arcimboldo and Cervantes, legends like the Golem or the
Bloody Countess and, of course, the miseries and follies of the Habsburgs with
the musical and cabalistic speculations of the moment. In settings as diverse as
the naval battle of Lepanto or imperial cities such as Vienna, Prague and
Budapest, Archduchess Margarita, in her retirement from the Las Descalzas
Reales convent in Madrid, draws an exciting sketch of the music of her time.
