Title The Last Look: A Tale of the Spanish Inquisition
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "The Last Look: A Tale of the Spanish Inquisition" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition during the 16th century, the story revolves around the trials and tribulations of characters like Dona Leonor de Cisneros and her fiancé, Antonio Herezuelo, as they face the brutal reality of religious persecution due to their Protestant beliefs. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the beauty of Seville and the tension that brews as the Inquisition begins to root out heretics. The opening chapters focus on a visit by Don Gonzales, a Bishop, to the household of Dona Mercia where he learns that her daughter, Leonor, is being raised with Protestant ideals. As the plot unfolds, Leonor and Antonio's engagement develops amidst increasing danger from the ever-watchful Inquisition, which soon leads to a network of arrests and betrayals. The stage is set for intense conflict between their steadfast faith and the oppressive religious authority of the time, foreshadowing a struggle where love, courage, and conviction will be put to the ultimate test.
