Overview

Reyes Monforte regresa con su novela más ambiciosa: la apasionante historia de la española que se convirtió en la espía soviética más importante del siglo xx.

La legendaria historia de una valerosa mujer que luchó por sus ideales más allá de la familia, el amor, la amistad y el orden mundial.

«Pero ¿quién demonios es esa mujer?» era la pregunta más escuchada en los despachos de la CIA. ¿Quién movía los hilos del espionaje mundial, frustraba operaciones de inteligencia, retorcía voluntades, mudaba de piel, encabezaba misiones imposibles, descubría secretos de Estado y dibujaba en el tablero de la Guerra Fría la amenaza de una Tercera Guerra Mundial? Esa misteriosa mujer era la española África de las Heras, quien se convirtió en la espía soviética más importante del siglo xx.

Captada por los servicios secretos de Stalin en Barcelona durante la guerra civil española, formó parte del operativo para asesinar a Trotski en México, luchó contra los nazis ejerciendo de radioperadora —violinista— en Ucrania, protagonizó la trampa de miel más fructífera del KGB al casarse con el escritor anticomunista Felisberto Hernández y crear la mayor red de agentes soviéticos en Sudamérica, dejó su impronta en el espionaje nuclear, en bahía de Cochinos y se relacionó con Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera o Ernest Hemingway, entre otros. Una vida llena de peligro, misterio, glamour y numerosas identidades secretas bajo un mismo alias: Patria. Ni siquiera la relación personal con el asesino de Trotski, Ramón Mercader, la separó de sus objetivos, pero ¿qué precio tuvo que pagar por su lealtad a la URSS y a sí misma?

Reyes Monforte relata en La violinista roja la increíble vida de un icono fascinante de nuestra historia; una novela épica, torrencial y ambiciosa en torno a una de las mujeres que forjaron el siglo xx tal y como lo conocemos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Reyes Monforte returns with her most ambitious novel: the gripping story of the Spaniard who became the most important Soviet spy of the 20th century.

The legendary story of a courageous woman who fought for her ideals beyond family, love, friendship, and the world order. "Who the hell is that woman?" was the question most often heard in the CIA headquarters. Who was pulling the strings of world espionage, thwarting intelligence operations, twisting wills, shedding skin, leading impossible missions, discovering state secrets, and sketching out the threat of a Third World War on the Cold War chessboard? That mysterious woman was the Spaniard África de las Heras, who became the most important Soviet spy of the 20th century.
 
Recruited by Stalin's secret services in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, she was part of the operation to assassinate Trotsky in Mexico and she fought against the Nazis as a radio operator ––a violinist–– in Ukraine. She also starred in the most rewarding KGB honey trap when she married the anti-communist writer Felisberto Hernandez, and she created the largest network of Soviet agents in South America. She left her mark in nuclear espionage and in the Bay of Pigs affair, and she had contact with Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Ernest Hemingway, among others. A life full of danger, mystery, glamour, and numerous secret identities under one alias: Patria. Not even her personal relationship with Trotsky's assassin, Ramón Mercader, distanced her from her goals. But what price did she have to pay for her loyalty to the USSR and to herself?
 
In The Red Violinist, Reyes Monforte recounts the incredible life of a fascinating icon of our history: an epic, relentless, and ambitious novel about one of the women who shaped the 20th century as we know it.
