Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Amor Falso, Amor Verdadero/False Love, True Love

The author tells about the origin and development of two Spanish romances: The Alfambra woman buried alive and The lovers of Teruel. The first recounts the infidelity of a lecherous woman, the Countess of Alfambra, who betrays her husband by delivering him to his enemy; and whose final dénouement is the defeat of the adulterous couple and their being condemned to death by being burnt at the stake. The Story of the Lovers of Teruel recounts the tragic life of one of the members of the Marcilla family, enamoured of a rich damsel who returned his love. However, her father's refusal to consent to their marriage, and adverse fate which destined them never to consummate their love, led them to their deaths. Both stories, on the author's opinion, who has studied the subject, had been together in the same codex when it was made in late Middle Ages. His anonymous author wanted to do exaltation of the noble family who ordered it, and at the same time to reflect the contrast: infidelity versus loyalty, false love versus true love. The later separation of one of the tales from the rest of the book gave it a different sense, because some people pretended to show the separated story as a real fact. It was the beginning of the Lovers of Teruel legend, which inspired many writers, painters, musicians, etc. to compose their masterpieces. In the second part of the book, the author, explains the origin and development of the subject along the time. El autor presenta en este libro dos relatos legendarios de finales de la Edad Media ambientados en tierras de Teruel (España). Se trata de La enterrada viva de Alfambra y de Los amantes de Teruel. El primero narra la infidelidad de una mujer lujuriosa, la condesa de Alfambra, que traiciona al marido con su principal enemigo, pero en el desenlace final la pareja adúltera es derrotada y condenada a la pena capital. El segundo relato cuenta los trágicos amores de un joven de la familia Marcilla y de su enamorada, que le correspondía en su sentimiento. Pero la negativa del padre de ella al matrimonio, y un destino adverso que impide a la pareja consumar su amor en vida, los conduce a la muerte, y sólo ésta los unirá para siempre. Los dos relatos, según opinión del autor que ha investigado el tema, formaban parte de un mismo manuscrito compuesto a finales de la Edad Media para ensalzar el origen nobiliario de la familia que encargó el códice. Formaban una secuencia donde su anónimo compilador quiso reflejar el contraste entre la infidelidad y la lealtad, entre el falso amor y el verdadero amor. La posterior separación de una de las historias del resto del libro hizo que ésta adquiriera un sentido distinto; presentándola luego algunos como un hecho histórico que había ocurrido realmente, dando origen al mito de los Amantes de Teruel. La leyenda cobró fama y ha sido posteriormente fuente de inspiración de numerosos escritores, pintores, músicos, etc., que han creado obras maestras en sus respectivas disciplinas. El autor en la segunda parte del libro cuenta el origen y evolución en el tiempo de este tema.
