«La Verdadera Historia de los Cátaros» is the historical essay by Anne Brenon, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (220 pages, in Spanish).
Anne Brenon, a specialist in Catharism, reconstructs who the Cathars really were and dismantles the myths woven around them. The work presents the «Good Men» and «Good Women» as pious people involved in the life of their time, whose way of understanding faith clashed with the power of the Church and ended up being persecuted and annihilated. A journey through their beliefs, their daily life and their tragic fate that brings the reader closer to a medieval spirituality often misunderstood.
This edition includes a translation by Manuel Serrat Crespo and a prologue by Iker Jiménez. It includes a bibliography and comes from the French original «Les cathares».
