Libro: Milagros de Nuestra Señora (Odres Nuevos) (Spanish Edition)

Gonzalo de Berceo is the first writer in the Spanish language to reach us with a name and surname. Among his works, the Miracles of Our Lady stand out, a collection of twenty-five miracles preceded by an allegorical introduction in which are collected the most vigorous and popular traditions of the 13th century. Thanks to their simplicity and freshness, these pious stories, born in their day with the purpose of moving the faithful and awakening their devotion, still maintain their naive charm and survive with unusual strength. In this edition, Daniel Devoto has managed to capture the miracles in modern Spanish without losing the special aroma of the original text.
