As she did with Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis here retrieves individual lives from historical obscurity. Equally remarkable though very different, the three women profiled here--one a Jewish merchant and mother of twelve, one a Catholic mystic visionary, and one a Protestant painter and naturalist--left behind memoirs and writings that make for spellbinding tales. 41 halftones. 400 pp .

The clever peasant Arnaud du Tilh had almost won his case, when a man with a wooden leg swaggered into the French courtroom, denounced du TiIh, and reestablished his claim to the identity, property, and wife of Martin Guerre. This book, by the noted historian who served as a consultant for the film, adds new dimensions to this famous legend.

El hombre conocido con el nombre de León el Africano, autor de la primera geografía de África, nació como al-Hasan al-Wazzan en una familia musulmana que en 1492 dejó Granada por Marruecos. Natalie Zemon Davis describe cada época de su dramática vida con abundancia de detalles, escrutando las pruebas que nos quedan de los movimientos de al-Hasan entre dos mundos culturales, entre la tradición árabe e islámica y las sociedades cristianas y las ...
