About this item

Mujer de genio y talento, la joven Juana de Ingelheim no se conforma con las costumbres imperantes en la sociedad medieval. Instruida por sus padres en el arte de las letras y la medicina, Juana adopta la personalidad de su hermano muerto para ingresar en el monasterio de Fulda, donde se inicia en la vida monacal. Allí, convertida en el hermano Juan, la joven destaca como un excelente escolástico. Enviada a Roma, pronto se verá inmersa en la compleja trama de intrigas políticas y amorosas que envuelve a los estados pontificios. Superando todos los escollos, Juana es elegida papa el año 855 con el seudónimo Juan Anglico, la única mujer que ha ocupado el trono papal.Aunque considerada en la actualidad un personaje legendario, la existencia de la papisa Juana fue reconocida durante largo tiempo por la Iglesia católica, para posteriormente ser negada a partir del siglo XVII. Leyenda o verdad histórica, esta novela-que ocupó los primeros puestos de venta en Alemania durante varios meses- reconstruye con trazos nítidos el retrato vivo de una mujer extraordinaria, una heroína apasionada cuya ambición no fue el poder sino el conocimiento.
