By reading this volume, the reader will not only discover a sharp-witted historian whose perspective impresses with both its originality and its boldness.

They will also hear the music of a language whose roots sink deep into the depths of centuries and remains alive, capable of touching their sensitivity and stirring their imagination as it takes them on a journey through the depths of the Iconoclast period, a time that is little known, and which still remains buried today under accusations and stereotypes.
