«Cuando los hombres tienen que morir por sus ideas, algo nuevo está a punto de comenzar . Con una combinación de intriga y rigor histórico, Palabras de fuego traslada a los lectores a un momento histórico, en el que la palabra impresa podÃa ser el arma más transformadora.
Año 1557. Fray Daniel de Ecija es un novicio del Monasterio de los Jerónimos de San Isidoro del Campo, que se encuentra fascinado por las nuevas ideas que está introduciendo su amigo Casiodoro de Reina. Sevilla parece revolucionada por las riquezas que llegan de América y las ideas de Alemania. La imprenta ha conseguido que las enseñanzas de Lutero y Erasmo se extiendan por Europa, pero la Inquisición acecha. Los monjes son advertidos de una inminente redada y escapan hacia Cádiz para buscar un barco que los lleve hasta Italia.
La Inquisición envÃa tras los monjes «herejes a dos monjes que intentarán traerlos de nuevo a España para que sean juzgados y quemados en la hoguera. Mientras que Daniel de Ecija y sus compañeros huyen por Europa, Casiodoro de Reina comienza a gestar la idea de traducir la Biblia al castellano, pero los espÃas de Felipe II están en todas partes y tienen mucho interés en que el libro no se publique.
«Hubo un tiempo en que los libros podÃan cambiar el mundo, hacer tambalear los poderes más fuertes y cambiar para siempre la historia .
The Words of Fire
When men have to die for their ideas, something new is about to begin. With a combination of intrigue and historical rigor, The Words of Fire takes readers back to an historical moment when the printed word could be the most transformative weapon.
The year 1557. Fray Daniel de Ecija is a novice of the Hieronymite Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, who is fascinated by the new ideas being introduced by his friend Casiodoro de Reina. Seville seems to be revolutionized by the riches coming from America and the ideas from Germany. The printing press has managed to spread the teachings of Luther and Erasmus throughout Europe, but the Inquisition is lurking. The monks are warned of an imminent raid and escape to Cadiz to find a ship to take them to Italy.
The Inquisition sends two monks after the heretical monks who will try to bring them back to Spain to be judged and burned at the stake. While Daniel of Ecija and his companions flee through Europe, Casiodoro de Reina starts to develop the idea of translating the Bible into Spanish, but Philip II's spies are everywhere and are very interested in the book not being published.
There was a time when books could change the world, shake up the strongest powers, and change history forever.
