serie Bernal del Nuevo Mundo
Marañón, Fernando
Martos, David (1969- )
The first stage of the conquest of America, true to how many facts are known about it. The first installment of an ambitious trilogy, which allows you to travel through time at the hands of great characters full of charm. A work with which to enjoy History, living all kinds of adventures, intrigues, discoveries, loves and disappointments, in search of fame and fortune. Bernal de Conil was barely thirteen years old when he embarked on La Pinta. The year is 1492 and a certain Columbus will command the adventure of crossing the Ocean Sea. On the other side of the world, a young Taíno named Cái dreams of the men "with hair on their faces" who will come and help his people against a hostile tribe. With the meeting of both worlds, an epic will begin that would change the course of Universal History. Back on the peninsula, the one from Conil is involved in the preparation of a second trip. The almighty Archdeacon Rodríguez de Fonseca counts on the scribe Bartolomé de Alcaudiel, his beautiful daughter Catalina and Bernal himself to fulfill his purposes. Great characters of the period, from Columbus to Alonso de Ojeda, Caonabó, Ovando, Anacaona, Balboa, Pizarro or Cortés join an unforgettable gallery of types that will cement Spanish splendor in this corner of the kingdom. Bernal will embark with his godson to explore Tierra Firme, while his Taíno friend becomes an increasingly cornered war chief. In a permanent game of hide-and-seek, his destinies intersect without touching, coinciding with key characters in the conquest. They both know that they are doomed to meet sooner or later and only a miracle can prevent them from killing each other.
