About the Book

Premio Bicentenario Grijalbo de Novela Histórica

Agosto de 1842. Leona Vicario, la heroína insurgente, ha muerto. Y ha muerto en medio de ese torbellino que es la República de Antonio López de Santa Anna, «un mal llamado Estado que no es más que un charco pestilente en el que saltan los renacuajos ambiciosos y los ajolotes oportunistas». Pocos saben hoy que el fallecimiento de Leona Vicario, la Madre de la Patria, concitó un abigarrado concierto en el que participaron los más disímbolos personajes de la vida pública del México independiente: Lucas Alamán y Carlos María de Bustamante, arrieros y criadas, Benito Juárez y la anciana Güera Rodríguez, damas de sociedad y pelados, Valentín Gómez Farías y antiguos inquisidores, héroes vivos, viejos militares, monjas profesas y exclaustradas, deudos, parientes y enterradores, así como su viudo, don Andrés Quintana Roo.

Con fina ironía, rigor histórico y un certero manejo del lenguaje, Carlos Pascual realiza una cuidadosa reconstrucción que da vida a una serie de personajes históricos al mismo tiempo que define un profundo retrato psicológico de Leona Vicario. Un complejo mosaico creado con oficio de artesano que hizo a esta obra ganadora del Premio Bicentenario Grijalbo de Novela Histórica.

«Escrita en el contexto de la época más dramática de este país, La insurgenta nos muestra que, en el umbral de "las más grandes desilusiones", irrumpen mexicanas con la calidad humana de Leona Vicario, protagonista de una novela que maravilla de la primera a la última página.» -Álvaro Cepeda, Contralínea

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Grijalbo Bicentennial Prize for Historical Novel

August 1842. Leona Vicario, the insurgent heroine, has died. She died in the midst of that whirlwind that is the Republic of Antonio López de Santa Anna, "a misnamed State that is nothing more than an infected puddle in which ambitious tadpoles and opportunistic salamanders live." Few know today that the death of Leona Vicario, the Nation's Mother, brought about a motley concert in which the most diverse characters in Mexico's public life took part in: Lucas Alamán and Carlos María de Bustamante, muleteers and servants, Benito Juárez and old Blondie Rodríguez, ladies of high society and poor folk, Valentín Gómez Farías and former inquisitors, living heroes, old military men, cloistered and released nuns, relatives, as well as her widower, Don Andrés Quintana Roo.

With fine irony, historical rigor, and an accurate use of language, Carlos Pascual carries out a careful reconstruction that brings to life a series of historical characters while defining a profound psychological portrait of Leona Vicario. A complex mosaic created as a craftsman that made this work the winner of the Grijalbo Bicentennial Prize for Historical Novels.

"Written in the context of Mexico's most dramatic times, La insurgenta / The Insurgent shows us that, on the threshold of the greatest disappointments, Mexican women burst forth with the same human quality as Leona Vicario, the protagonist of a novel that marvels from the first to the last page." --Álvaro Cepeda, Contralínea
