«La pasión» is the historical novel by Jeanette Winterson published by Lumen in hardcover, with 224 pages, in Spanish.
During Napoleon's campaigns, Henri, a young cook in the service of the French army, arrives in Venice and meets Villanelle, a redhead who knows the secrets of the gondolas and the gaming rooms. Between them a passion is born that mixes the real and the fantastic, and that calls into question ideas about love, gender and war.
Original title: The Passion. The Spanish translation was published in 2007. Winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize.
Aimed at readers of historical and literary fiction, with an interest in magical realism, queer narrative and love in times of war.
