- 2 Want to read
Escrita en 1946 y traducida ahora por vez primera en España, Los herejes son dos novelas en una, un sorprendente ejercicio literario sobre la intransigencia de los fanatismos que trasciende los límites del género tanto en la forma como en el fondo. A través de su peculiar estructura narrativa, Humphrey Slater, un comunista británico que luchó en las Brigadas Internacionales y cuyo paso por la Guerra Civil española fue la causa de su desengaño del comunismo, retrata y vehicula dos momentos históricos clave en el auge del totalitarismo —religioso y político— y las consecuencias del fanatismo. El primero, entre 1197 y 1212, en Avignon, una época oscura de fanatismo y persecución religiosa. El segundo, en la guerra civil española, entre 1936 y 1939, caracterizado por el sectarismo político.

Work Description
Written in 1946 and now translated for the first time in Spain, The Heretics are two novels in one, a surprising literary exercise about the intransigence of fanaticism that transcends the limits of the genre in both form and substance. Through his peculiar narrative structure, Humphrey Slater, a British communist who fought in the International Brigades and whose time in the Spanish Civil War was the cause of his disillusionment with communism, portrays and conveys two key historical moments in the rise of totalitarianism - religious and political - and the consequences of fanaticism. The first, between 1197 and 1212, in Avignon, a dark time of fanaticism and religious persecution. The second, in the Spanish civil war, between 1936 and 1939, characterized by political sectarianism.
