Overview
Por el premiado autor de EL BUEN PADRE, con más de 130.000 lectores.
«Es mejor morir con dignidad que vivir esclavizados».
Siglo I a.C. Tras amotinarse en el barco en el que los trasladaban los romanos, un grupo de prisioneros de guerra africanos y sus mujeres son arrastrados por las corrientes a la isla de Tenerife. Durante mil quinientos años, sus descendientes crean allí una civilización aislada del resto del mundo, hasta que los nueve reinos que componen el territorio guanche se convierten en objetivo de los Reyes Católicos. La sangre se derramará de norte a sur de la isla en esta gran aventura que rememora traiciones, sacrificios y pasiones prohibidas para contar la historia de una estirpe guerrera liderada por el mencey Bencomo, rey de reyes, que luchó hasta el fin por su libertad.
Santiago Díaz presenta un relato extraordinario, jamás narrado hasta ahora, de la resistencia guanche a la Corona de Castilla, pero también una crónica asombrosa de la España de la época a través de la mirada de una esclava en busca de sus orígenes, una historia de amor imposible y el retrato de una civilización repleta de misterios que terminó desapareciendo para siempre.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A GREAT EPIC, A LOST CIVILIZATION, THE MOST OBSCURE EPISODE IN SPANISH HISTORY.
By the award-winning author of THE GOOD FATHER, with more than 130,000 readers.
First century BCE. After mutinying on board the Roman ship transporting them, a group of African prisoners of war and their wives are swept by the currents to the island of Tenerife. For 1,500 years, their descendants – known as Guanches - forge a civilization cut off from rest of the world, until the Catholic monarchs set their sights on conquering the Canary Islands. Tenerife is bathed in blood in this epic saga of sacrifice, betrayal and forbidden passion that tells the story of a warrior nation and its leader, Mencey Bencomo, king of kings, who fought to the death for his people’s freedom.
This is the extraordinary and little-known story of Guanche resistance to Castilian rule, as well as an astonishing chapter in Spanish history as seen through the eyes of a slave in search of her origins, a doomed love story, and a portrait of a mysterious lost civilization.
