«Las ciudades carnales» is the historical novel by Zoé Oldenbourg, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (574 pages, in Spanish).
In thirteenth-century Occitania, the Christian knight Roger de Montbrun and the Cathar lady Gentiane d'Aspremont experience a love conditioned by the clash between Catharism and the Catholic Church. The novel recreates castles, courts of love, troubadour poetry and battles, and poses the dilemma between love and religious loyalty.
Work originally published in French in 1961 under the title «Les cités charnelles ou l'histoire de Roger de Montbrun»; the present Spanish edition is from 2000.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the Middle Ages, Catharism and medieval Occitania.
Zoé Oldenbourg was a Russian-born French popular historian and novelist who specialized in medieval French history, in particular the Crusades and Cathars.
