«Urraca» is the historical novel by Lourdes Ortiz, published by Salvat in hardback (182 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in the 12th century and focuses on Urraca I of León, a queen who, after having lost almost everything, examines her life and times with a gaze stripped of prejudice. Ortiz thus composes a reflection on solitude, death, power and eroticism, and offers a peculiar perspective on the Hispanic Christian kingdoms.
The work belongs to Salvat's Historical Novel collection, number 21. Its ISBN is 9788434590649.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the Spanish Middle Ages and in women who wielded power in the peninsular kingdoms.
Lourdes Ortiz is a Spanish writer of novels, plays, poems and essays. She has worked for several different newspapers and magazines, including El País, El Mundo, and Diario 16, mainly focusing on social and political topics.
