«La piedra angular» is the historical novel by Zoé Oldenbourg, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (412 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative, set in the early Middle Ages, portrays an era in which the festive, colourful atmosphere of the court coexists with the calamities and misery of pilgrims and vagabonds; two realities of the same world depicted in the novel.
The novel was originally published in 1953 as «La pierre angulaire», winner of the Prix Femina; this Spanish edition reproduces the translation by María Barbeito y Cerviño.
A suitable title for readers of historical fiction who wish to delve into the Middle Ages and the contrast between the court and the most disadvantaged strata.
Zoé Oldenbourg was a Russian-born French popular historian and novelist who specialized in medieval French history, in particular the Crusades and Cathars.
