About the Book

Olvidarás el fuego es la primera novela que narra la entrañable historia y tragedia de Luis de Carvajal, alias “Joseph Lumbroso”, y de la suerte que corrieron sus manuscritos y memorias hallados en 2016 en una casa de subastas en Nueva York, tras haber sido robados del Archivo General de la Nación. La historia silenciada a lo largo de cuatro siglos del éxodo sefardí de España y Portugal, y de los esfuerzos para sobrevivir a migraciones, epidemias, huracanes, guerras, intolerancia, torturas, intrigas políticas y traiciones es narrada de manera magistral por la pluma de Gabriela Riveros. La autora nos lleva a 1596, año en que un espectáculo atroz fue presenciado por miles de personas en la Alameda Central de la Ciudad de México: tras ser perseguido y torturado, el joven poeta, comerciante y líder religioso Luis de Carvajal, alias “Joseph Lumbroso”, fue quemado en la hoguera junto con su madre, dos de sus hermanas y cinco miembros de su comunidad, condenados por la Inquisición como herejes judaizantes. A través de personajes de carne y hueso seremos testigos de su resistencia heroica y clandestina, de la lucha de hombres y mujeres, de familias enteras que dieron la vida por el derecho a la libertad de pensamiento y de credo religioso. De Europa a Nueva España, de África a Asia, sus protagonistas custodian un secreto ancestral asediados por un entorno político en donde la diversidad cultural no solo fue considerada pecado, sino delito de Estado. Esta novela recupera la historia de una comunidad enraizada a lo largo de todo el continente, cuya cultura, conocimientos y rutas comerciales han sido fundamentales para la conformación del mundo contemporáneo. También nos remite a la posibilidad de encontrarnos a través de los siglos y acortar la distancia con los otros, gracias a las palabras capaces de paliar los silencios y el olvido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION You Will Forget the Fire is the first novel ever telling the endearing story and tragedy of Luis de Carvajal (Aka “Joseph Lumbroso”) and that of his manuscripts and memoirs, found in 2016 in an auction house in New York, after being stolen from the General National Archive.   The Sephardic exodus from Spain and Portugal has been largely silenced for over four centuries. The efforts the exiled Iberian Jews had to make to survive migrations, epidemics, hurricanes, wars, intolerance, torture, political intrigues and betrayals is masterfully narrated by Gabriela Riveros.   The author takes us to 1596, the year in which an atrocious spectacle was witnessed by thousands of people in the Alameda Central of Mexico City: after being persecuted and tortured, the young poet, merchant, and religious leader Luis de Carvajal, also known as “Joseph Lumbroso”, was burned at the stake along with his mother, two of his sisters, and five members of his community, the Inquisition finding them guilty of being “Judaizing heretics.”   The readers witness the characters’ heroic and clandestine resistance, and the struggle of entire families who gave their lives fighting for their religious freedom. From Europe to New Spain, from Africa to Asia, its protagonists keep an ancestral secret while besieged by a political environment in which cultural diversity was not only considered a sin, but a crime.   This novel recovers the history of a community spread throughout the continent, whose culture, knowledge, and trade routes were shaped the world. It also reminds us that words can ease the pain of silence and oblivion, bridging the temporal and geographical distances that often keep us apart.
