General Note
Translation of: Victory City.
Description
"En la India del siglo XIV, después de una insignificante batalla entre dos reinos olvidados, una niña de nueve años llamada Pampa Kampana cambia el curso de la historia. La voz antigua de la diosa Pampa sale por su boca infantil y le otorga poderes extraordinarios para crear una gran ciudad: Bisnaga, la ciudad de la victoria. Durante los siguientes doscientos cincuenta años, la vida de Bisagna estará ligada a la de su creadora, que desde su centro velará por el bienestar de sus ciudadanos con un objetivo claro: dar la misma representación a las mujeres que a los hombres. Pero todas las historias encuentran la forma de alejarse de lo que imaginaron sus creadores, y la de Bisnaga no será una excepción. A medida que los años pasen, el tejido social de Bisagna se volverá demasiado complejo, y mientras se suceden gobernantes y alianzas, derrotas y victorias, la ciudad se dirigirá hacia su trágico final."--
Description
"In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga--literally 'victory city'--the wonder of the world. Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's, from its literal sowing out of a bag of magic seeds to its tragic ruination in the most human of ways: the hubris of those in power. Whispering Bisnaga and its citizens into existence, Pampa Kampana attempts to make good on the task that Parvati set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception. As years pass, rulers come and go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, the very fabric of Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry--with Pampa Kampana at its center"--
