| Sumario: | This article examines a pivotal episode in the historical novel La tierra fértil (1999) by the Spanish author Paloma Díaz-Mas, focusing on the relationship between Arnau de Bonastre and his vassal Joan Galba. This relationship is framed by vaious forms of warfare that precede and follow their interactions. Individual issues intersect with collective ones, which serve as a pretext or justification for the war. Through this portrayal, the novel offers a rather negative image of war in the 13th century, connected to the construction of a dark, crude and realistic Middle Ages, and seeks to highlight and raise awareness of the historical antecedents that underpin a present-day prosperity built on bloodshed, violence and exclusion. |
