Mansura is a novel by Félix de Azúa that presents itself as a false historical novel based on Jean de Joinville's chronicle of the seventh crusade. The story follows Catalan crusaders, led by their king, who replace the French in the events narrated by Joinville. Through this maneuver, De Azúa offers a brilliant and sympathetic perspective, though not without bitterness and disillusionment, on themes such as honor, friendship, courage, and the futility of life.
Félix de Azúa Comella is a Spanish professor of aesthetics and philosophy, poet, novelist, essayist and translator, member of Real Academia Española.
