«Las brujas y el inquisidor» is the historical novel by Elvira Roca Barea, published by Espasa in hardback (576 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 1609, the work starts from the witchcraft accusations in the Navarrese village of Zugarramurdi and the sending of inquisitor Alonso de Salazar y Frías to Logroño to investigate the case. The plot contrasts the superstition and fanaticism of seventeenth-century Europe with the defence of reason, showing the political and religious interests that fuelled the witch hunt.
The novel won the Premio Primavera de Novela in 2023. The edition belongs to the Espasa Narrativa collection.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in the Spanish Inquisition, witchcraft and seventeenth-century Spain.
