by Patricia Cerda (Author)

Patricia Cerda, una de las más importantes exponentes de la novela histórica chilena, reconstruye la historia del poeta soldado Alonso de Ercilla, autor de La Araucana.

Ercilla y las contradicciones del imperio narra los periplos de un autor tan adelantado como talentoso, testigo privilegiado de la conquista española y los abusos que sus compatriotas ejercieron sobre los nativos, en nombre de Dios y la Corona. Pero es, sobre todo, una exploración del proceso que llevó a Alonso de Ercilla a escribir La Araucana, el poema épico fundacional de una patria ajena que el español hizo propia.

A través de una investigación exhaustiva, y valiéndose de una pluma osada y madura, la historiadora y novelista Patricia Cerda reconstruye la trayectoria de una figura central no solo de la literatura hispanoamericana, sino también de la historia de Chile. Autora del super ventas Mestiza y de otras exitosas ficciones históricas, en su séptima novela propone un viaje al centro de la guerra de Arauco y la revisión del origen de un país, contradictorio y turbulento.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Patricia Cerda, one of the top proponents of Chilean historical novel, reconstructs the story of the soldier poet Alonso de Ercilla, author of the Araucana.

Ercilla and the Contradictions of the Empire tells the peripli of an author as ahead of his time as he was talented, privileged witness to the Spanish conquest and the abuse his countrymen exercised upon natives in the name of God and Crown. But above all, it is an exploration of the process that took Alonso de Ercilla to write the Araucana, the foundational epic poem of a foreign land the Spaniard made his own.

After thorough research, drawing on a bold, mature hand, historian and novelist Patricia Cerda reconstructs the journey of a key figure not only in Spanish-American literature, but in Chilean history. Bestselling author of Mestiza and other successful historical fictions, in her seventh novel she takes us on a journey to the middle of the Arauco War and revises the origins of a country, contradictory and turbulent.
