Notes

Description
"1583. Una badaq -o rinoceronte indonesio- pace tranquilamente en la isla de Pawu. Cuando llega un galeón castellano, el animal es testigo de las relaciones entre colonizadores e indígenas y se convierte en moneda de cambio entre ellos. La llevan hasta Madrid, donde su vida correrá peligro si no consigue escapar de un destino sin sentido. A su alrededor, se teje una trama de intereses y corruptelas entre políticos sin escrúpulos, libertinos codiciosos y desertores imperiales justo cuando el mayor imperio de la cristiandad está entrando en decadencia.En su fascinante nueva novela, Carlos Bardem ha construido con destreza y precisión un minucioso fresco histórico que refleja el gobierno depredador de los imperios español y portugués, la peligrosidad de la Inquisición y los graves abusos de la colonización." -- Back cover
Description
"1583. A badaq -- or Indonesian rhinoceros -- grazes peacefully on the island of Pawu. When a Castilian galleon arrives, the animal witnesses the relations between colonizers and indigenous people and becomes a currency between them. They take it to Madrid, where his life will be in danger if he does not manage to escape from a senseless destiny. Around him, a web of interests and corruption is woven between unscrupulous politicians, greedy libertines and imperial deserters just when the greatest empire of Christendom is entering into decline. In his fascinating new novel, Carlos Bardem has skillfully and precisely constructed a meticulous historical fresco that reflects the predatory government of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, the danger of the Inquisition and the serious abuses of colonization." -- Back cover
