Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Il pregio di Jennings è certamente la sua particolare dose ironica che riversa nella figura del leggendario don Juan de Zavala, caballero e gachupìnes. Interessanti gli approfondimenti storici del popolo degli aztechi, della lotta con l'invasore spagnolo Cortés, e delle varie vicende di conquista in America nel 1500... Lettura semplice e scorrevole, a tratti prolisso. Ottimo per chi ama l'ambientazione messicana e americana. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieL'azteco (Book 4)
The fascinating history of Mexico that began in the #1New York Times bestselling novelAztec continues . . . . Don Juan de Zavala was the most skilled fighter in all of New Spainâe"as gifted with weapons and horses as he was with women. These pleasures were all he desired. But the magnificent Aztec empire, its grand cities and riches lay broken under the Spanish boot . . . Now valiant men and fearless women rise and battle their brutal overlords. As a warrior-priest leads an Aztec revolt, across the ocean in Spain courageous people battle Napoleon's invading armies. No one, including Juan de Zavala could stay neutral. Especially if a shocking secret from Zavala's lurid past is exposedâe"a secret so lethal to the Spanish Crown it threatens their very existence. Zavala will be swept from glittering Mexico City to snake-and-croc infested jungles, to lost Mayan civilizations to the torture chambers of the Inquisition, to beautiful Barcelona and the bloody carnage of Napoleon's war in Spain, to the bloodiest and most spectacular of New Spain's (colonial Mexico) revolutions. Everybody wants Don Juan de Zavala . . and many people want him dead: Isabella . . . Instinctively wicked, sinfully seductive. Father Hidalgo . . . Can a man of God take up the sword and lead a people by the hundreds of thousands into a bloody revolution he cannot control? Raquel . . . Attractive, sensuous, erudite, she challenges Juan with her mindâe"and her body. Marina . . . A gorgeous pure-blood Aztec, she knows too well the oppressor's rape and pillage of her people.
