Reyes Monforte regresa con su novela m�s ambiciosa: la apasionante historia de la espa�ola que se convirti� en la esp�a sovi�tica m�s importante del siglo xx. La legendaria historia de una valerosa mujer que luch� por sus ideales m�s all� de la familia, el amor, la amistad y el orden mundial. �Pero �qui�n demonios es esa mujer?� era la pregunta m�s escuchada en los despachos de la CIA. �Qui�n mov�a los hilos del espionaje mundial, frustraba operaciones de inteligencia, retorc�a voluntades, mudaba de piel, encabezaba misiones imposibles, descubr�a secretos de Estado y dibujaba en el tablero de la Guerra Fr�a la amenaza de una Tercera Guerra Mundial? Esa misteriosa mujer era la espa�ola �frica de las Heras, quien se convirti� en la esp�a sovi�tica m�s importante del siglo xx. Captada por los servicios secretos de Stalin en Barcelona durante la guerra civil espa�ola, form� parte del operativo para asesinar a Trotski en M�xico, luch� contra los nazis ejerciendo de radioperadora -- violinista -- en Ucrania, protagoniz� la trampa de miel m�s fruct�fera del KGB al casarse con el escritor anticomunista Felisberto Hern�ndez y crear la mayor red de agentes sovi�ticos en Sudam�rica, dej� su impronta en el espionaje nuclear, en bah�a de Cochinos y se relacion� con Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera o Ernest Hemingway, entre otros. Una vida llena de peligro, misterio, glamour y numerosas identidades secretas bajo un mismo alias: Patria. Ni siquiera la relaci�n personal con el asesino de Trotski, Ram�n Mercader, la separ� de sus objetivos, pero �qu� precio tuvo que pagar por su lealtad a la URSS y a s� misma? Reyes Monforte relata en La violinista roja la incre�ble vida de un icono fascinante de nuestra historia; una novela �pica, torrencial y ambiciosa en torno a una de las mujeres que forjaron el siglo xx tal y como lo conocemos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Reyes Monforte returns with her most ambitious novel: the gripping story of the Spaniard who became the most important Soviet spy of the 20th century. The legendary story of a courageous woman who fought for her ideals beyond family, love, friendship, and the world order. "Who the hell is that woman?" was the question most often heard in the CIA headquarters. Who was pulling the strings of world espionage, thwarting intelligence operations, twisting wills, shedding skin, leading impossible missions, discovering state secrets, and sketching out the threat of a Third World War on the Cold War chessboard? That mysterious woman was the Spaniard �frica de las Heras, who became the most important Soviet spy of the 20th century. Recruited by Stalin's secret services in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, she was part of the operation to assassinate Trotsky in Mexico and she fought against the Nazis as a radio operator --a violinist-- in Ukraine. She also starred in the most rewarding KGB honey trap when she married the anti-communist writer Felisberto Hernandez, and she created the largest network of Soviet agents in South America. She left her mark in nuclear espionage and in the Bay of Pigs affair, and she had contact with Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Ernest Hemingway, among others. A life full of danger, mystery, glamour, and numerous secret identities under one alias: Patria . Not even her personal relationship with Trotsky's assassin, Ram�n Mercader, distanced her from her goals. But what price did she have to pay for her loyalty to the USSR and to herself? In The Red Violinist, Reyes Monforte recounts the incredible life of a fascinating icon of our history: an epic, relentless, and ambitious novel about one of the women who shaped the 20th century as we know it.
