| Abstract (English): | The article examines "The Woman Who Embraced the Jungle: Novelized Biography of Saint Laura Montoya Upegui" by Carmen Elena Villa Betancourt, a work that uses the novelized biography as a genre to recover the life of Colombia's first saint with historical rigor and narrative depth. The author carefully articulates documentary research with narrative imagination, basing dialogues on Laura Montoya's memoirs and other historical writings while reconstructing episodes through archival documentation. The book presents Laura Montoya not as a sanctified figure from the outset, but as a complex woman marked by violence, doubt, and uncertainty, whose sanctity is progressively constructed through her fragilities and experiences of suffering. The novel also explores the condition of women in the twentieth-century Church and Montoya's relationship with indigenous peoples, emphasizing listening, mutual learning, and respect for marginalized communities. The work demonstrates that the novelized biography, when grounded in rigorous research and careful writing, constitutes a genuine form of knowledge that allows us to understand historical lives with the complexity that human experience deserves.

Biografía novelada de santa Laura Montoya Upegui" de Carmen Elena Villa Betancourt, una obra que utiliza la biografía novelada como género para recuperar la vida de la primera santa colombiana con rigor histórico y profundidad narrativa. La autora articula cuidadosamente la investigación documental con la imaginación narrativa, basando los diálogos en las memorias de Laura Montoya y otros escritos históricos mientras reconstruye episodios mediante documentación archivística. El libro presenta a Laura Montoya no como una figura santificada desde el inicio, sino como una mujer compleja marcada por la violencia, la duda y la incertidumbre, cuya santidad se construye progresivamente a través de sus fragilidades y experiencias de sufrimiento. La novela también explora la condición femenina en la Iglesia del siglo XX y la relación de Montoya con los pueblos indígenas, enfatizando la escucha, el aprendizaje mutuo y el respeto por comunidades marginadas. El trabajo demuestra que la biografía novelada, cuando descansa en investigación rigurosa y escritura cuidadosa, constituye una forma genuina de conocimiento que permite comprender vidas históricas con la complejidad que merece la experiencia humana.
