Secretos medievales

Is it possible to create an enjoyable and mysterious history of literature?

De acuerdo con la interpretación predominante, sus acciones cobran sentido si se insertan en el contexto de la lucha entre Cristiandad e Islam. Sin embargo, el estudio al detalle de las cuadrillas, revela aspectos hasta ahora desconocidos que se dan de bruces con la imagen del bandido morisco como guerrero de la fe o vengador de la...
