Description "He sido cautiva en tierra de moros y perseguida en mi propia casa. He sobrevivido a innumerables peligros. He conocido el goce y también el desamor, como una puñalada cruel. He servido a un rey grande entre los grandes. He ayudado a construir un reino."Cuentan las crónicas que a finales del siglo VIII, en tiempos de guerra entre musulmanes y cristianos, el príncipe Mauregato escogía de entre las doncellas del reino a las más bellas para entregárselas al emir de Córdoba, Abderramán I, en el Tributo de las Cien Doncellas. Así comienza la historia de Alana, hija de un jefe de clan astur y un guerrero visigodo, obligada a abandonar su castro para formar parte del harén del emir. Alana tendrá que hacer acopia de toda su imaginación y su valor para escapar de su cautiverio... ya que el camino de regreso al norte está plagado de peligros. Isabel San Sebastián relata en La visigoda una historia de amor y heroísmo, aventuras y conjuras, una emocionante página de la historia de España que conducirá al lector por la Córdoba de los Omeya, un Toledo recién sometido al Islam y el reino de Asturias en sus primeros pasos hacia la Reconquista. Estas son las memorias de una mujer valiente, osada y audaz dispuesta a sacrificarlo todo en busca de la libertadENGLISH DESCRIPTION"I have been held captive in the land of the Moors and hunted in my own home. I have survived countless perils. I have known joy and have also experienced heartbreak like a cruel stab in the heart. I have served the greatest king. I have helped build a kingdom."Archives tell that at the end of the 8th century, in times of the war between Muslims and Christians, King Mauregatus would chose the most beautiful of maidens from the kingdom and deliver them to the Emir of Córdoba, Abd al-Rahman I, in the Tribute of the Hundred Maidens .Thus begins the story of Alana, the daughter of an Asturian clan chief and Visigoth warrior, forced to leave her fort behind to become part of the emir's harem. Soon Alana will have to summon all her imagination and courage to escape captivity ... as the road back to the north is fraught with danger.In La visigoda / The Visigoth Isabel San Sebastián narrates a story of love and heroism, adventures and conspiracies; it is an exciting chapter in Spain's history. These are the memoirs of a brave and daring woman willing to sacrifice everything in search of freedom.
