Um dos mais sombrios episódios do passado norte-americano revelado de forma emocionante por uma das mais aclamadas escritoras da atualidade

1692, baía de Massachussets, Nova Inglaterra. A puritana aldeia de Salem assistiu à execução de catorze mulheres, cinco homens e dois cachorros – todos acusados de bruxaria. A feitiçaria se materializou em janeiro, o primeiro enforcamento ocorreu em junho, tudo terminou em setembro. Depois dos julgamentos, fez-se um silêncio crivado de culpa.

Com base em meticulosa pesquisa, a renomada jornalista Stacy Schiff, vencedora do Pulitzer, reconstitui com precisão histórica e prosa vibrante os acontecimentos daquele ano sombrio e o surto coletivo que desencadeou o drama das bruxas de Salem.

Um retrato em que Schiff traz à baila as ansiedades da América do Norte dos primeiros tempos para compará-las, brilhantemente, com as de hoje. Em nossa época de redes sociais, inimigos invisíveis e intolerância às diferenças, esta história sobre o obscurantismo religioso faz mais sentido que nunca. Um capítulo distópico do passado norte-americano que não devemos nunca esquecer – e muito menos repetir.

"Magistral… Stacy Schiff reconstrói detalhadamente não apenas os acontecimentos de 1692, mas o mundo que os criou." The Los Angeles Times

"Um thriller psicológico opressivo, forense." The Times

"Stacy Schiff em grande forma, dando a um evento histórico o máximo de vida, mistério e tragédia como a melhor das romancistas." Vanity Fair

"Sua pesquisa é impecável; nenhum outro escritor foi tão a fundo." The New York Review of Books

O livro tem um conteúdo histórico muito bom e com ideias que podemos fazer analogias com tempos atuais, porém ele tem uma leitura travada e lenta em alguns momentos pelo detalhamento e escrita muito prolixa
