註釋From the author of "The Deprat Affair," history with a difference, presenting the dreams of a woman who lived at the time of the Spanish Inquisition.
Spell-binding, poetic and apocalyptic, the dreams of Lucrecia de Leon lay in the archives of the Spanish Inquisition for more than four hundred years. Lucrecia was a nineteen-year-old Madrilena in 1587 when her dreams began to be recorded and published by a disaffected group of clerics. Over the next three years they transcribed her dreams which they considered to be messages from God. The dreams warned of the defeat of the Armada, of the death of King Philip II, of the fall of Spain and of a new beginning under a new king. As some of her prophecies came true and as the Spanish court grew more discontented, she fell foul of the authorities and was arrested by the Holy Order. Thirty-five of her most captivating dreams are captured here."
