INQUISITION in the PHILIPPINES HUNDRED STORIES
The word Inquisition inevitably suggests images of torture and bodies engulfed in flames. However, these stories do not correspond to such clichés. These stories are broken down from complaints and processes contained in the archives of the court of the Inquisition of Mexico, on which the offices of the commissioners of the Holy Office in the Philippines depended. In the shadows of pain and torment, we find the spells, superstitions, scandals, love affairs, illusions, longings, fantasies, festivities, and jokes that manage to creep in. Thus, in addition to introducing us to the daily activity of the Inquisition within those confines of the Spanish Empire, these stories bring us closer to the human and social reality of a surprising world.
