Reseña del libro "The Last Perfects. : A Narrative History of the Cathars, the Albigensian Crusade, and the Siege of Montségur (en Inglés)"
Step into the sun-drenched landscape of thirteenth-century Languedoc, a land of troubadours and tolerance where a different kind of Christianity flourished. They called themselves the Good Christians, but to the Church of Rome, they were the Cathars, a dangerous heresy that had to be extinguished at any cost. This book plunges you into their world, exploring their dualistic belief in a good, spiritual God and an evil, material one, and the ascetic lives of the 'Perfects' who led their flock. Witness the spark that ignited a holy war: the murder of a papal legate that unleashed the brutal Albigensian Crusade upon the south of France. March with ruthless crusaders like Simon de Montfort, stand with the defiant lords of Occitania, and feel the terror of the infamous order to 'Kill them all.' Finally, ascend the treacherous path to Montségur, the last mountain citadel, for the final, tragic siege that sealed the Cathars' fate. 'The Last Perfects' is more than a history; it is a gripping, human-centered narrative of faith, power, and a lost world whose echoes still resonate in the stones of southern France.
