About the Book

Vuelve Pilar Sánchez Vicente con una novela histórica vibrante.

En el año 1820 Andrea Carbayo de Jovellanos, La Gabacha, hija de Gloria Carbayo, la Encantadora, y de Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, Jovino, escribe sus memorias para dejar constancia de las aventuras y desventuras que la llevaron al lugar donde se halla, perseguida por la intransigencia del inquisidor Valdés.

Reviviremos su infancia en Obiedo y viajaremos con ella a Oxford, donde, disfrazada de hombre, asistirá a la presentación de importantes descubrimientos para la Medicina actual. En París vivirá de cerca la Revolución con su inseparable Olympe de Gouges, volcándose en la lucha por los derechos de las mujeres y en su trabajo en la imprenta. Un oficio, el de impresora, que ejercerá también en Gixón a su regreso. Será entonces cuando conozca a su padre y disfruten ambos de fructíferos paseos por el arenal. Directora de una escuela para niñas desfavorecidas, fundará un periódico que desempeñará un papel clave durante la guerra de la Independencia. Este conflicto bélico, que asolará la región convirtiéndola en un escenario dantesco, conducirá a Jovellanos a la muerte, facilitando que Valdés culmine su venganza sobre ella.

Ilustrada, intelectual, tertuliana, escritora, traductora, maestra, feminista... Andrea fue una precursora en muchos aspectos, sin que ello impidiera que fuera borrada de la Historia, como otras tantas mujeres en toda época y lugar.

En el año 2021, cuando se cumplen 210 años de la muerte del ministro y prócer gijonés Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, la publicación de este manuscrito y el inesperado descubrimiento de una hija secreta agigantan la leyenda sobre tan ilustre personaje.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1820 Andrea Carbayo wrote her memoir to record the adventures that led her to the place where she is, haunted by the intransigence of the inquisitor Valdés. Illustrated, intellectual, social gathering, writer, translator, teacher, feminist, Andrea herself was a forerunner in many aspects, without this preventing her from being erased from history, like so many other women in all times and places. In 2021, when 210 years have passed since the death of the Gijon minister and hero Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, the publication of this manuscript and the unexpected discovery of a secret daughter magnify the legend about such an illustrious character.
