About this ebook
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 )
„Somerset Maugham are curajul de a pune in scena o realitate pe care multi au ocolit-o. Intr-un scenariu greu de imaginat el proiecteaza infruntarea a doua instante incompatibile: puterea necrutatoare a Inchizitiei si inocenta unei fecioare.“ ( Chicago Sun-Times )
