Un thriller histórico ambientado en el fascinante mundo del libro en el siglo XVI.
Novela histórica y de intriga, El taller de libros prohibidos nos transporta a la época en la que imprimir, vender y leer libros podía llegar ser una actividad sumamente peligrosa.
Alcalá de Henares, 1572. La joven librera Inés Ramírez acaba de quedar viuda y ha de ponerse al frente del negocio familiar. Pronto descubre que su esposo poseía la clave de acceso al único ejemplar de un libro prohibido, cuya desaparición había sido ordenada por el poder político y la Iglesia siglos atrás.
Con la colaboración de Pierre Arbús, un oficial de imprenta francés, inicia la investigación. Tendrá que tratar con personajes de todo tipo: maestros impresores, eruditos, delincuentes, nobles de alta cuna. Y todo bajo la sombra omnipresente de la Inquisición, que vela por controlar el pensamiento y la palabra, y la estricta censura de Felipe II.

A historical novel full of intrigue,
El taller de libros prohibidos
/
The Shop of Forbidden Books
takes us to the times in which printing, selling, and reading books could be a very dangerous activity.
Alcalá de Henares, 1572
. The young Inés Ramírez, a bookstore owner whose husband has just died, must now head the family business. She soon discovers that her husband had the key to the only copy of a forbidden book, one whose disappearance had been ordered by the Church and by those with political power centuries ago.
With the help of Pierre Arbús, a French printing officer, she starts her investigation. Though all of it, she will have to deal with all kinds of characters: master printers, scholars, criminals, and royals. And all under the omnipresent shadow of the Inquisition, which seeks to control all thoughts and communications, and Felipe II’s strict censorship.
