Description
Alef Publishing House has published the masterpiece of Carme Riera, one of the leading authors of Kalatan literature, in a meticulous translation from the original language. On March 7, 1687, a group of Jews in Mallorca, converted to Christianity but secretly practicing their old faith, board a ship to flee to the land of freedom for fear of being arrested by the Inquisition. This decisive period in Mallorca's history has been transformed by Carme Riera, one of the most distinguished writers in Catalan literature, into a great historical novel that has won numerous awards and has been translated into many languages since its publication. At the End of the Blue recreates the Mallorca of the period, with its colors, smells, sounds and climates, where Inquisition inquisitors, nobles, merchants, peasants, bandits, and brothel women all appear.
