«La espía» is the historical novel by Paulo Coelho about Mata Hari, published by Booket in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Coelho recreates the life of Mata Hari, the Dutch dancer and courtesan executed in 1917 on charges of espionage. The novel follows this free and contradictory woman from her youth in exotic Java to Belle Époque Paris and Berlin during World War I, showing how she defied the conventions of her era and became a legend. Narrated in the first person as supposed memoirs, it explores her dreams, passions and the price she paid for her independence.
Novel originally published in Portuguese as «A Espiã» and translated into Spanish by Ana Belén Costas. It is part of the Biblioteca Paulo Coelho collection.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and followers of the Brazilian author, who here moves away from mystical fiction to portray a female icon of the twentieth century.
