Un maravilloso ensayo que parte de la caza de las brujas en el Renacimiento, una guerra contra las mujeres que resuena aún hoy.

A comienzos de la Edad Moderna tuvo lugar en Europa una caza de brujas en la que se persiguió a centenares de miles de personas, la gran mayoría mujeres, y se asesinó a unas sesenta mil. ¿Qué sabemos de las condenadas? ¿Y de sus acusadores? Y, sobre todo, ¿cuál pudo ser el motivo de semejante locura?

Adela Muñoz Páez, una de las ensayistas actuales más brillantes, ofrece respuestas a estas preguntas y explora el proceso, orquestado durante siglos por la Iglesia, que convirtió a las mujeres en chivos expiatorios de una sociedad extraordinariamente misógina. Al contrario de lo que suele pensarse, las persecuciones más agresivas no se dieron en España, las penas más crueles no las impusieron los tribunales eclesiásticos, y la Inquisición no fue el brazo ejecutor de la caza, sino la principal opositora a la misma. El texto se ocupa además de herejías, bulas papales, grimorios, exorcismos y hechizos, y rememora los juicios de las brujas de Salem y Zugarramurdi, así como la historia de sus perseguidores y de sus defensores.

Aunque no hubo aquelarres ni vuelos de brujas, sí hubo dolor y muerte en las hogueras prendidas a lo largo y ancho de la Europa de la época. En nombre de las brujas cuyas voces no serán oídas jamás, hemos de ayudar a poner freno a la superstición y el odio que aún hoy siguen cobrándose decenas de miles de vidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A wonderful essay that begins with the witch hunts in the Renaissance, a war against women that still resonates today.

At the beginning of the Modern Era there was a witch hunt in Europe, where hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, were persecuted and about sixty thousand were killed. What do we know about those convicted? About their accusers? And above all, what could motivate such madness?

Adela Muñoz Páez, one of today's most brilliant essayists, answers these questions and explores the process--orchestrated for centuries by the Catholic Church--that turned women into scapegoats for an extraordinarily misogynistic society. Contrary to what you might think, the most aggressive persecutions didn't happen in Spain, the cruelest punishments were not imposed by ecclesiastical courts, and the Inquisition was not the executive arm in the hunt, but the main objector. This text also focuses on heresy, papal bulls, grimoires, exorcisms, and spells, and remembers the witch trials at Salem and Zugarramurdi, as well as the history of their persecutors and defenders.

Even though there weren't any covens or witches flying, there was pain and death in those fires lit all across Europe at the time. On behalf of the witches whose voices will never be heard, we must help stop superstition and hatred, still claiming dozens of thousands of lives today.

Best socks
Size: Medium, Color: Pink Elixir Assorted
Everyone got socks in their stockings this year. But no one was complaining. They weren't thin like some socks. But not super thick either. Just right. I even bought a pair for myself. No regrets. Will definitely buy again.

Elegance and Practicality in a Lightweight Divider
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel
Elegance and Practicality in a Lightweight Divider I recently acquired the 4 Panel Room Divider from the Furnnylane Store, opting for the Japanese mountainside print over the floral theme. Priced at $149.99, this piece not only promised functionality but also an aesthetic charm that piqued my interest. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was its impressive dimensions (63"W x 67"H), offering ample coverage for most standard spaces. Despite its substantial size, the divider is surprisingly lightweight, making it a breeze to move and adjust as needed throughout my home. The double-faced design is a standout feature, providing 100% blackout on both sides, which is ideal for privacy or blocking out unwanted light. This aspect was particularly appealing to me as I was looking for a solution to minimize nighttime light intrusion. The divider excels in this regard, effectively blocking and diffusing light to create a more comfortable sleeping environment. From a design perspective, the Japanese mountainside print adds a serene and picturesque element to the room. While the materials are not what one might consider artisanal, the overall look and feel of the divider are quite lovely, enhancing the room's aesthetic without overpowering it. The room divider's foldable design adds to its convenience, allowing for easy storage when not in use. It requires no assembly, which is a significant plus for those who prefer hassle-free products. The natural pinewood frame, free from chemical paints and non-toxic glues, aligns with my preference for safer, more environmentally friendly home decor. In terms of versatility, this divider has proven to be a multifaceted addition to my home. It serves not only as a practical room separator but also as a decorative piece that brings a touch of elegance and tranquility to any space it occupies. Overall, the 4 Panel Room Divider from Furnnylane is a commendable blend of form and function. Its lightweight nature, combined with the beautiful Japanese mountainside print, offers both practicality and visual appeal. While the materials may not be of the highest artisan quality, they do not detract from the divider's charm and effectiveness. This piece has been a delightful and functional addition to my home, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant solution to room separation or light blocking needs.

Nice room divider
Color: Colorful Landscape, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Colorful Landscape, Size: 6 Panel
I am pleased with this room divider. I was concerned that the art design might look blurry or cheap in person compared to online, but it doesn't. It looks really nice. In fact, I like it so much that I bought a second one as well. It arrived folded up - there is no assembly required - you simply unfold it and place it where you want. It's relatively light weight so it's easy to move. I also like that there is a different artwork design on each side. You have two choices; you can display whichever side you like more.

May cause respiratory issues
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel
The painting on this panel is beautiful and quality has held up BUT I’m almost certain this contributed to respiratory issues. It was next to my bed for a year and I recently noticed it’s still shedding red/brown dust. The wood was clearly painted over and it makes me skeptical about the wood that was used. The panel itself feels like it’s made cardboard. If you’re sensitive or plan to place this panel in a main living area, I would not recommend
