The novel is a combination between mystery and suspense which introduces you to the subject from the first page. The book reveals the extremes of the human condition from the most absurd to the most uplifting, a condition that has been present with us at all times. Maria Isabel is a fiction novel that unfolds in three dimensions, intertwining in a harmonious and intriguing way.The first dimension is a historical one, an account of life, people and places, from 17th century Spain. The second is a psychological one, where we know the subjective feelings of the characters fighting with their own problems, their own ephemeris. but also human nature in its individual and group manifestation.The third dimension is a spiritual one, and here we witness the confrontation between religion and spirituality, a debate between believing and being, between socio-cultural programming and freedom, a debate in which whoever is right does not win, whoever has power wins . Here the difference between dry dogma and truth will be perceived very clearly and intensely, and any different point of view must be silenced, regardless of facts or evidence. The great inquisitor was called to a small village to take over and judge a witch. The process is complicated, everything being atypical, and although he is overwhelmed by the situation, despite the evidence, he decides that the defendant should be purified. During the purification, he has the surprise of his life, a surprise that determines him to reconsider everything he knows, a surprise that shakes the world from its foundations and shatters it irretrievably. As a result, he decides to redeem his previous way of life, making a radical decision.
