Description
This is a modern translation of Alfonso Toro's classic story about the Spanish Inquisition in Mexico, which captures the tragedy and courage of Jews who chose to die rather than renounce their faith. Frances Hernandez has simplified the diction and syntax of this treasured Mexican classic, while maintaining the integrity of the original work.
