A trav???s de personajes de carne y hueso seremos testigos de su resistencia heroica y clandestina, de la lucha de hombres y mujeres, de familias enteras que dieron la vida por el derecho a la libertad de pensamiento y de credo religioso. De Europa a Nueva Espa???a, de ???frica a Asia, sus protagonistas custodian un secreto ancestral asediados por un entorno pol???tico en donde la diversidad cultural no solo fue considerada pecado, sino delito de Estado. Esta novela recupera la historia de una comunidad enraizada a lo largo de todo el continente, cuya cultura, conocimientos y rutas comerciales han sido fundamentales para la conformaci???n del mundo contempor???neo. Tambi???n nos remite a la posibilidad de encontrarnos a trav???s de los siglos y acortar la distancia con los otros, gracias a las palabras capaces de paliar los silencios y el olvido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION You Will Forget the Fire is the first novel ever telling the endearing story and tragedy of Luis de Carvajal (Aka "Joseph Lumbroso") and that of his manuscripts and memoirs , found in 2016 in an auction house in New York, after being stolen from the General National Archive. The Sephardic exodus from Spain and Portugal has been largely silenced for over four centuries. The efforts the exiled Iberian Jews had to make to survive migrations, epidemics, hurricanes, wars, intolerance, torture, political intrigues and betrayals is masterfully narrated by Gabriela Riveros. The author takes us to 1596, the year in which an atrocious spectacle was witnessed by thousands of people in the Alameda Central of Mexico City: after being persecuted and tortured, the young poet, merchant, and religious leader Luis de Carvajal, also known as "Joseph Lumbroso", was burned at the stake along with his mother, two of his sisters, and five members of his community, the Inquisition finding them guilty of being "Judaizing heretics." The readers witness the characters' heroic and clandestine resistance, and the struggle of entire families who gave their lives fighting for their religious freedom. From Europe to New Spain, from Africa to Asia, its protagonists keep an ancestral secret while besieged by a political environment in which cultural diversity was not only considered a sin, but a crime. This novel recovers the history of a community spread throughout the continent, whose culture, knowledge, and trade routes were shaped the world. It also reminds us that words can ease the pain of silence and oblivion, bridging the temporal and geographical distances that often keep us apart.
