In the last blue, by Carme Riera, is a historical novel that recreates the life of the Majorcan crypto-Jews in the 17th century, a period marked by the Inquisition and tensions between different social classes. The plot follows inquisitors, aristocrats, merchants, peasants and bandits, including the unforgettable Beatriu Mas. This 25th anniversary commemorative edition, revised by the author and with a prologue by Antonio Muñoz Molina, offers a deep look at the horrors of intolerance and religious persecution in Spain's Golden Age.
