About the Book

La apasionante biografía de Lola Montes como la falsa española que quiso ser reina.

Muchos han oído hablar de Lola Montes, pero pocos saben en realidad quién fue: una bailarina aventurera y gran viajera que encandiló a toda una época, una mujer adelantada a su tiempo que vivió una vida de novela.

Con una inteligencia y belleza arrolladoras, Lola fue capaz de reinventarse y luchar para salir adelante en un mundo de hombres. Bajo una falsa identidad, su vida fue una sucesión de excentricidades y escándalos. Sin apenas conocimientos de baile logró llegar a lo más alto como bailarina, debutando en los teatros más importantes de las capitales europeas.

Se codeó con los literatos, políticos, músicos y aristócratas más populares de la época, como Alejandro Dumas padre, George Sand o el músico Liszt, con quien vivió un intenso romance. Y, sobre todo, enamoró al rey Luis I de Baviera, quien la hizo condesa y acabó abdicando por ella.

Divina Lola nos traslada a escenarios exóticos y remotos, desde su Irlanda natal a la India, donde vivió en Calcuta y Dinapore; a ciudades como París, Londres, Múnich, donde deslumbró con sus «bailes españoles», y a las peligrosas tierras de California y Australia, donde vivió como una intrépida pionera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The fascinating biography of Lola Montes, the fake Spaniard who wanted to be queen.

Many have heard of Lola Montes, but few know who she really was: an adventurous dancer and world traveler who dazzled an entire era, a woman ahead of her time who lived a fairytale life. With great intelligence and breathtaking beauty, Lola was able to reinvent herself and become successful in a world led by men. Under a false identity, her life was a series of eccentricities and scandals.

With very little dancing knowledge and abilities, she managed to become a top dancer, debuting in the most prominent theaters in Europe. Her social circle was filled with the most popular writers, politicians, musicians, and nobles of the time, such as Alexander Dumas, George Sand, or the musician Liszt, with whom she had a passionate love affair.

And, above all, she made King Ludwig I of Bavaria fall in love with her; he named her Countess and ended up abdicating the throne for her.
