Prepare to enter a fascinating, primitive universe that goes back to the very beginning, to the story upon which Western civilization is based. Poetry and mystery go hand in hand in this transcendent novel about mankind, as never before imagined. Join Adam and Eve as they discover the world for themselves, feel their confusion and panic when they face punishment, and observe in awe as they experience the power to give life and, eventually, the ability to take it away to survive.

From internationally acclaimed poet and author Gioconda Belli comes a beguiling and soulfully rewarding novel--a parable that captures our own time and our own uncertain future.

On an outing from her boarding school, young Lucia meets Manuel--art historian and exquisite storyteller--who shares with her the tale of one of history's most tumultuous loves: Queen Juana of Castile's legendary devotion to her husband, Prince Philippe the Handsome. Embracing a union thrust upon her by political necessity, Juana responds with all the passionate abandon inherent in her fiery nature--and is forced to pay a high price for her honest sensuality. For there are those at the Renaissance court who will not allow such unabashed independence in the heir to one of the world's most powerful empires--and they declare Juana mad, denying her ascension to the throne. But is she truly insane, or is she merely a victim of her own impetuosity and unbridled desire? Or is Juana a pawn in a fierce power struggle for control of the throne?

Lucia attends raptly to the tale Manuel relates--and their own story begins to miraculously, dangerously mirror that of Juana the Mad and her beloved prince.

Tras casarse muy jóven y ser madre, Gioconda Belli se unió al clandestino y emergente movimiento Sandinista, sustituyendo su deseo de ser una buena esposa por la necesidad de vivir una vida plena y comprometida con los cambios sociales en su país. Irónicamente, su pertenencia a la burguesía y su carrera como poeta renombrada, le brindaron la fachada que le permitió funcionar, secretamente, como rebelde. Desde su infancia en Managua y sus encuentros iniciales con poetas y revolucionarios, a persecuciones urbanas, reuniones con Fidel Castro, relaciones amorosas truncadas por la muerte o el exilio en México y Costa Rica, hasta su inesperado matrimonio con un periodista norteamericano, la historia de Gioconda Belli es tanto la de una mujer que se descubre a sí misma, como la de una nación que forja su destino.

El magico relato de nuestros origenes es probablemente el que mas fascinacion ha inspirado en la humanidad a lo largo de los tiempos. Pero, mas alla de los cuarenta versiculos que la Biblia dedica a Adan y Eva, mas alla incluso de la leyenda, como seria la vida de aquella inocente, valiente y conmovedora primera pareja? Como seria aquel universo primigenio? Cual fue el impulso que motivo a que Eva tomara la manzana prohibida? Y que pensamientos le pasaron por la cabeza a ambos una vez que comprendieron las consecuencias de lo que Eva acababa de hacer?

Preparese para adentrar en un mundo fascinante y primitivo que lo llevara al comienzo de todo, a la historia en la que se basa la civilizacion judio-cristiana. Poesia y misterio se dan la mano en esta sorprendente novela que nos presenta al primer hombre y la primera mujer descubriendose y descubriendo su entorno, experimentando el desconcierto ante el castigo, el poder de dar vida y la crueldad de matar para sobrevivir.

Esta novela que nos brinda Gioconda Belli es una parabola para nuestros tiempos y para un futuro inesperado que logra cautivar y complacer cada centimetro de nuestra alma.

Un novela extraordinaria de amor y locura, en la que un historiador y una joven estudiante investigan la enigmatica vida de Juana la Loca

La Reina Juana de Castilla, hija y madre de reyes, es el personaje mas carismatico y fascinante de un periodo crucial de la historia de Espana. Hermosa, inteligente, segura y poderosa, se rebelo contra la represion y los abusos, y lucho sin descanso por ser fiel a si misma. En 1509, con veintinueve anos, fue declarada loca y encerrada en Tordesillas, donde permanecio hasta su muerte en 1555.

Cuatro siglos mas tarde, a traves de Lucia una joven de asombroso parecido con la Reina Juana de Castilla un historiador busca resolver el enigma de quien fue mas conocida como Juana la Loca. Enloquecio de amor, como cuenta la historia oficial, o fue victima de traiciones y luchas por el poder? Seducida por la pasion de la palabra, Lucia se adentra en un pasado que alterara su presente para siempre. En esta novela, historica y contemporanea, Juana de Castilla regresa para contar su propia version de los hechos.

Gioconda Belli's poetry, widely published and revered in Latin America and Europe, celebrates the longing for a society in which humanity constructs its future, animated by an inextinguishable erotic, maternal, and transcentendly loving desire. As Salman Rushdie wrote in his book, "The Jaguar Smile: A Nicaraguan Journey, "her poetry is a "kind of public love poetry that comes clower, to expressing the passion of Nicaragua than anything I [have] yet heard."
