About This Book
In 1792 in Spain, amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution, renowned
painter Francisco Goya becomes embroiled in the Spanish Inquisition
after his beautiful muse Ines is accused of being a heretic and put on
trial. Goya must beg for her life to be spared through his old friend
Lorenzo, a power-hungry monk who is spearheading the revival of the
Inquisition. Ines is imprisoned, tortured, and left to perish in the
dungeons, while Lorenzo is eventually banished from the Spanish church.
Some twenty years pass, and Goya is at the height of his creativity, but
he has become deaf and somewhat insane. The three meet again after the
French abolish the Inquisition and set the prisoners free, and Lorenzo
becomes Napoleon's chief prosecutor against his former Spanish allies.
Based on this novel, a film by the same title has been produced in 2006,
by the direction of Academy Award winner Milos Forman and starring
Academy Award nominee Natalie Portman, Academy Award nominee Javier
Bardem, and Stellan Skarsgard.
