Description
In 711, a pivotal year in Christian history, Adosinda recounts the story of Pelayo's struggle to reclaim Spain from Islamic rule. Her account is not just a record of events, but an attempt to breathe life into the past by exploring the thoughts and emotions of those who lived through it.
Adosinda's narrative focuses on the battle won at Covadonga in 722, which marked the beginning of the Reconquista. She seeks to convey the significance of Pelayo's victory not just as a military triumph, but as a catalyst for an idea that would shape the course of history.
This book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in European history, one that continues to resonate today.
