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.

Many uses. Economical and functional.

Little Paper Plates for Any Occasion! Two feral kitties have adopted me and I feed them twice a day. I needed an easy, economical choice that provides a clean dish for each one. These Hygloss Products Paper Plates are ideal. They’re quite sturdy, uncoated, and exactly what I was looking for—simple and functional. In addition, they’re great for craft projects because they’re uncoated, which means paint, glue, and markers stick to them without any trouble. On the practical side, they are excellent for serving snacks and sandwiches, although they’re not thick or large enough for full-course meals. It’s the best price I have found for paper plates and they arrived quickly. Highly recommend for feeding stray cats, as well as crafting and casual dining!

The Unsung Heroes of Casual Dining
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
Ah, paper plates, the unsung heroes of casual dining! Whether it's a mountain of greasy burgers or a messy pile of coleslaw, these humble discs of pressed paper pulp stand firm—well, maybe more like a wobbly dance, teetering on the brink of collapse but never quite giving up. They bend, they buckle, but they rarely break. And let's not forget their efficiency: soaking up liquids and grease might seem like a flaw, but who needs napkins when your plate does double duty? Wallet-friendly and hassle-free, paper plates are the champions of cheap dining. For the cost of a latte, you can arm yourself with a stack of plates ready for any impromptu feast. Cleanup is a breeze—just toss the evidence away. In short, paper plates might not be the fanciest dining ware, but they are the unsung champions of convenience. Here's to you, paper plates! May your legacy of casual dining excellence continue for generations to come.

Plates for our anniversary.
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
I needed plates for my anniversary and came across these plates. They were smaller than I expected but they worked out perfectly for us. They are strong and easy to use. They didn't leak or ripped at all. So that's a plus. Great price for the quantity that I received. Definitely recommend them.

Ok but not great
Style: 100-Pk, Size: 6-Inch
Not the thickness I would have expected for the price but do seem to work ok. Very hard to find good quality dessert plates at an affordable price. Probably won’t buy again.
