Overview
1770. Desde su ventana en el gueto amurallado de Frankfurt, la joven Gútale registra en su diario la cotidianidad en la Judengasse, o «calle de los judíos», así como el arrebato de su primer amor por el joven Meir Amschel Rothschild. Para Meir es claro que ha encontrado a la mujer ideal, pero antes de ganar su mano deberá enfrentar la férrea oposición del padre de ella, valerse de su intuición en los negocios y aprovechar la pasión de la nobleza europea por el comercio de monedas antiguas para sentar así las bases del imperio financiero que lleva su nombre.
En esta novela, asistimos no sólo al origen de una familia determinante en la historia de Europa, sino a la intimidad de una mujer extraordinaria que, sin abandonar su hogar en la Judengasse, estuvo siempre al tanto de los acontecimientos más relevantes de su época: el estallido de la Revolución francesa, las guerras napoleónicas o las alianzas y conflictos entre las casas reinantes del continente, en un mosaico de realidades geopolíticas narradas de manera apasionante.
«Tal como miles de lectores en Israel, creo que muchos lectores en otros idiomas disfrutarán la nueva novela de Sara Aharoni, El amor de la señora Rothschild»".- Amos Oz
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An endearing love that shaped one of the most emblematic families in the history of Judaism: the Rothschild family.
1770. From her window in the walled ghetto of Frankfort, young Gutle records in her diary everyday life in the Judengasse, or “Jewish street,” as well as her first love for young Mayer Amschel Rothschild. For Mayer, it is clear that he has found the ideal woman, but before he can ask for her hand he must face her father’s fierce opposition, make use of his intuition for business, and take advantage of the European nobility’s passion for old coins to establish the financial empire that bears his name.
In this novel, we witness not only the origin of a prominent family in the history of Europe, but also the private life of an extraordinary woman who, without leaving her home in the Judengasse, was always in tune with the current events of her time: the outbreak of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the alliances and conflicts between the reigning houses of the continent, in a mosaic of geopolitical realities narrated in a thrilling way.
