«La mujer que escribió la Biblia» is the historical novel by Moacyr Scliar, published by Editorial Alfaguara in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Solomon's Jerusalem, it follows an anonymous woman, scorned for being the ugliest on earth, who possesses a singular quality: only she knows how to read and write. Humour, fantasy and satire combine to show daily life of the era and the transformative power of the word.
Original title in Portuguese: «A Mulher que Escreveu a Bíblia». The Spanish edition was published in 2001 within the Alfaguara Literaturas collection.
For readers of historical fiction and Brazilian literature who appreciate humour and satire.
Moacyr Jaime Scliar was a Brazilian writer and physician. Most of his writing centers on issues of Jewish identity in the Diaspora and particularly on being Jewish in Brazil.
