«Una misa por la ciudad de Arras» is the historical novel by Andrzej Szczypiorski published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (174 pages, in Spanish).
In the fifteenth century, the French city of Arras suffers plague, famine, and the persecution of Jews, heretics, and witches driven by the Inquisition; the story follows Jan, a young intellectual. The work turns that episode into a political allegory about totalitarianism and social complicity, with echoes of freedom, responsibility, conformity, and memory.
This edition is number 19 of the Novela Histórica collection from El Aleph Editores; the work first appeared in 1971 under the title «Msza za miasto Arras».
Recommended for adult readers interested in historical fiction with a political and social background.
