by Antonio Pérez Henares (Author)

Detrás de todo héroe hay un hombre. Detrás de toda leyenda, una realidad.

Antonio Pérez Henares rebate el absolutismo de la Leyenda Negra en esta magnífica novela histórica que recrea la fascinante vida de Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, el español que mejor comprendió el modo de vida indígena en el siglo XVI .

Las páginas de esta novela nos conducen a través de una vida de leyenda. Desde que el joven Álvar, huérfano de sangre hidalga, sintió la pulsión de marchar a las Américas hasta su viaje, en 1527, en una flota de cinco navíos rumbo a la Tierra Florida donde, tras tempestades y ataques indios, acabó naufragando en la bahía de Tampa. Prisionero y esclavo de los indígenas, logró huir con tan solo tres compañeros más y, de tribu en tribu y cruzar, de este a oeste, todo el continente americano. Un increíble viaje a pie que duró nueve años y en el que acabó siendo venerado como un gran chaman por sioux, apaches, taraumaras y pueblos, hasta lograr dar de nuevo con los suyos y encontrarse con Hernán Cortés en Ciudad de México.

Esta narración, impecablemente documentada, nos muestra la increíble epopeya vital de un conquistador atípico, que convivió durante años con multitud de las etnias norteamericanas, a las que comprendió y defendió, pugnando por una diferente forma de implantar el dominio español en el Nuevo Mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Behind every hero, there is a man. Behind every legend, there is real life.

Antonio Pérez Henares refutes the absolutism of the Spanish Black Legend in this magnificent historical novel, recreating the fascinating life story of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, the Spaniard who best understood indigenous life in the sixteenth century.

These pages take us through a life of legend. From the moment young Álvar, an orphan of noble blood, felt the impulse to leave for the Americas, to his 1527 voyage on a fleet of five ships headed to Florida where, after facing tempests and attacks from the native tribes, ended up shipwrecked on Tampa Bay. Taken prisoner and enslaved by the natives, Álvar managed to escape with just three other companions. And tribe after tribe, he crossed the entire American continent from East to West. An amazing journey on foot that lasted nine years, for which he ended up being revered as a great shaman by the Sioux, the Apache, the Tarahumara, and other peoples, until he found his own and met Hernán Cortés in Mexico City.

This impeccably documented narrative shows the incredible life saga of a rare conquistador, who interacted for years with a multitude of North American ethnic groups. He understood and defended them, pushing for a different way to establish Spanish rule over the New World.
