Como en El Anatomista, la novela traducida en 31 países que lo consagró como uno de los escritores más imaginativos y originales de los últimos años, el autor regresa a la Europa medieval para reconstruir, tras años de rigurosa investigación, el momento en que el duque Geoffroy de Charney concreta la mayor falsificación de la historia de la cristiandad: el Sudario de Cristo. La novela transcurre entre Francia y España (Asturias), hacia donde dos jóvenes huyen con un grupo de monjes y novicias para fundar una nueva sociedad igualitaria, que pronto comenzará a molestar a la autoridad, y que los vecinos bautizarán “Villaviciosa”. Paralelamente a esta apasionante historia, se hilvanan los detalles de un impesable fraude, tal vez el más grande de la historia: el que tendrá lugar cuando el duque dé con el hombre que le servirá de modelo humano para el Santo Sudario, que hoy se encuentra en Turín

Federico Andahazi is the son of Bela Andahazi, Hungarian poet and psychoanalyst, and Juana Merlín. During his adolescence, he began to read the classical Argentine and universal authors. He used to escape from school, that reflected the oppressive military dictatorship ruler, to meet with friends in bookstores and bars on Corrientes Avenue, emblematic place of Buenos Aires culture. It was at this time when he began writing his first stories. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Universidad de Buenos Aires); he practiced the psychoanalysis a few years, while he was working on his short stories. In 2008, Andahazi published his first book of nonfiction, Pecar como Dios manda, Sexual History of Argentines. The essay runs in an hypothesis through all his work: you cannot understand the history of a country if you don’t know the history of sex that gestured it. With a prose that does not forget the novelist, the author conducted this first volume in an exhaustive investigation that starts from the original cultures and reaches the May Revolution. Federico Andahazi currently is working on the following volumes of the sexual history of the Argentines and in various fiction projects. His work has the recognition of the critical all over the world. His books are the subject of many reviews and studies.
