«Mansura» is the historical novel by Félix de Azúa published by Planeta in hardcover, with 194 pages, in Spanish.
A free version of Joinville's chronicle: it follows the hardships of a possible crusade of Catalans to the Holy Land in the 13th century, treated with irony and detachment. The crusaders embody, between medieval naivety and brutality, the hopes and disappointments of the generation of '68; at heart, it is the story of a failure.
Work originally published in 1984; this Planeta edition, from 1996, belongs to the Nuestros Clásicos Contemporáneos collection.
Will appeal to readers of historical fiction and literary narrative who appreciate irony and the rewriting of medieval chronicles.
Félix de Azúa Comella is a Spanish professor of aesthetics and philosophy, poet, novelist, essayist and translator, member of Real Academia Española.
