About this listen

This work traces the life and metamorphosis of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, from his exile and the profession of war to the governance of Valencia and his consecration as a literary hero.

In this volume, documented biography, the art of the Cantar de Mio Cid, and the power practices of the 11th century are interwoven to reveal a leader who turned the kept word, public justice, and the care of water into tools of governance.

The listener will discover a human and complex Cid: a frontier strategist, a meticulous administrator, a husband and father, a symbol shaped by centuries of memory and by current debates on identity and public engagement. A journey that unites archive and epic to understand why his name remains alive.
