«Barro y cenizas» is the historical novel by Zoé Oldenbourg published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (672 pages, in Spanish).
The novel traces the married life of Aalais and Ansiau de Linnières over decades, between a castle on the borders of Champagne and Burgundy, the small French towns and the crusades in the Holy Land. It is a portrait of medieval society crossed by war, family and religiosity, with a realism that is far from idealized.
This edition, published in 2003, is part of the Áncora & Delfin collection. The translation is by Francisco J. Alcántara. The work was originally published as «Argile et cendres» in 1946.
For readers of historical fiction set in the Middle Ages, particularly the crusades and the life of the minor French nobility.
Zoé Oldenbourg was a Russian-born French popular historian and novelist who specialized in medieval French history, in particular the Crusades and Cathars.
