- Summary:
- "Desde que su padre la confinó, y hasta el momento de su muerte, Juana la Loca, Reina de Castilla, Reina de Aragón, Valencia, Mallorca, Navarra, Nápoles, Sicilia y Cerdeña, Condesa de Barcelona, y Duquesa consorte titular de Borgoña, permaneció recluido en una sola habitación en Tordesillas. Di después de mí: 46 años; 552 meses; 2442 semanas; 17.094 días; 410 256 horas. Encerrada, independientemente de su posición como Reina. Durante su encierro, Miguel Ángel pintó la Capilla Sixtina, estalló la Reforma protestante de Lutero y Maquiavelo publicó El Príncipe. Memorízalo: hay información que debe permanecer en nuestra memoria para convertirse en un legado. En un perfecto diálogo entre los siglos XVI y XXI, Christina Fallarás recrea la vida de una mujer que es la historia de muchos. Cuando la historia la cuentan las mujeres, todo cambia. Con el silencio de Joanna, todo se entiende." -- Back cover.
- "Since her father confined her, and until the moment of her death, Joanna the Mad, Queen of Castille, Queen of Aragon, Valencia, Mallorca, Navarra, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia, Countess of Barcelona, and titular Duchess consort of Burgundy , remained imprisoned in one single room in Tordesillas. Say after me: 46 years; 552 months; 2442 weeks; 17,094 days; 410,256 hours. Locked away, regardless of her station of her as Queen. During her confinement, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, Luther's Protestant Reform broke out, and Machiavelli published The Prince . Memorize it--there's information that should stay in our memories to become legacy. In a perfect dialogue between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries, Christina Fallarás recreates the life of a woman that is the story of many. When history is told by women, everything changes. With Joanna's silence, everything is understood." -- Provided by publisher.
