Description

Lucrecia used to be a 19-year-old Madrilena when, in 1587, her dreams started to be recorded and published by a disaffected group of clerics. Over the following three years, they transcribed 400 of Lucrecia’s dreams, which they thought to be to be messages from God. The dreams warned of the defeat of the Armada, the death of King Philip II, the fall of Spain, and a new beginning under a new king. As a few of her prophecies came true, she fell afoul of the authorities and used to be arrested by the Holy Order. This book includes 35 of Lucrecia’s most captivating dreams. The inventiveness of these visions are astonishing, at the same time as the stories that they tell are compelling and of immense historical interest. Roger Osborne weaves a remark around each and every dream, which helps us to be aware Lucrecia’s visions and the atypical time and place she inhabited.
