The tower of Magdalene

Human ignorance and stupidity, a direct consequence of

religious fanaticism, strengthened during the Medieval Period and

served as the basis for the creation of the Catholic Inquisition in

Europe around the 10th century. In the name of God, everything

was justified; millions of people were imprisoned, tortured, and

murdered for about a thousand years. Anchored in faith,

mentally ill men created the greatest holocaust in history,

simply because some people did not fit into the archaic

molds of Catholicism or its truths.

This novel, in addition to historical facts, depicts the life of

Madalena, a reactionary woman who, after having her family

torn apart by the Inquisition, decides to take revenge and fight

against the system. From sinner in history to heroine

in this fiction, Madalena is a model of a woman who never

existed but who seeks to reclaim the capacity for struggle and

defiance of the so-called weaker sex during one of the

most challenging periods in history for women.
