    • Ildefonso Falcones presenta su nueva obra, La reina descalza, una apasionante y vívida recreación de Madrid y Sevilla de mediados del siglo XVIII, una conmovedora historia de amistad, pasión y venganza que une dos voces de mujer en un canto desgarrado por la libertad. Ahora, con La reina descalza, Ildefonso Falcones nos propone un viaje a una época apasionante, teñida por los prejuicios y la intolerancia. Desde Sevilla hasta Madrid, desde el tumultuoso bullicio de la gitanería de Triana hasta los teatros señoriales de la capital; del contrabando de tabaco a la persecución del pueblo gitano; de la fusión de culturas al nacimiento del preflamenco, los lectores disfrutarán de un fresco histórico poblado por personajes que viven, aman, sufren y pelean por lo que creen justo.
