-Titulo Original : Land So Strange The Epic Journey Of Cabeza De Vaca
-Fabricante :
Basic Books
-Descripcion Original:
From a Bancroft Prize-winning historian, the gripping tale of a shipwrecked Spaniard who walked across America in the sixteenth century (Financial Times)In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the four hundred men who had embarked on the voyage, only four survived-three Spaniards and an African slave. This tiny band endured a horrific march through Florida, a harrowing raft passage across the Louisiana coast, and years of enslavement in the American Southwest. They journeyed for almost ten years in search of the Pacific Ocean that would guide them home, and they were forever changed by their experience. The men lived with a variety of nomadic Indians and learned several indigenous languages. They saw lands, peoples, plants, and animals that no outsider had ever before seen. In this enthralling tale of four castaways wandering in an unknown land, Andres Resendez brings to life the vast, dynamic world of North America just a few years before European settlers would transform it forever. Review Once you start this book, its nearly impossible to put it down. Carolyn See, Washington Post Book World“I’m loving this book.” Joe RoganResendezs story is so riveting youll wonder why so many history books ignore it. Entertainment WeeklyThe story of Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, and of his accidental journey across the American continent, is one of the most remarkable feats of endurance ever recorded.... Resendez tells this gripping story with zeal.... It is impossible not to be swept along by his enthusiasm. Financial Times[Resendezs] indefatigable scholarship, knowledge of the context, and craftsmanlike storytelling provide a model account: concise, solid, moving. Times Literary SupplementThe accidental journey of Cabeza de Vaca and his companions across North America is one of the epics of the Age of Exploration. Andres Resendez recounts the story in broad context and riveting detail, capturing the lofty, base, cunning, fatuous, cowardly, and heroic actions and motives of an improbable cast of astonishing characters. H.W. Brands, author of Our First Civil War: Patriots and Loyalists in the American RevolutionResendezs brisk historical narrative cries out for novelisation. Times (U.K.)Resendez ... shows how Cortez, de Soto and other would-be conquistadors schemed for their kingdoms in the New World like investors jockeying for IPOs. Wall Street JournalAn extraordinary adventure story (which) offers a very different sort of paradigm for Europes encounter with the Americas. The ScotsmanAndres Resendezs new interpretation of this uncanny ordeal of human survival comprehensively reveals the adventure in almost seamless, highly readable prose. He provides a clear background of the politics of the Spanish Conquest, then spins a yarn of unimaginable hardship and a testament to endurance that elicits head-shaking disbelief on almost every page. Amazingly, all of it is true ... Mr. Resendezs new telling of this astounding tale entertains and captivates from the first page. Dallas Morning News[Resendezs] voice is original, his writing lucid and gripping. Miami Herald[I]t is Resendezs clever rewriting of his ordeal-as a survivors tale-that is most memorable. Texas MonthlyResendez creates a gripping narrative of one of the most amazing survival stories of all time. Library Journal (starred review)[Resendez] misses nothing in telling this riveting quest for gold and glory: prickly pears, pecan nuts, and other plants new to Europeans; migrant tribes in the daily search for food; massacres and treks of naked men across hundreds of miles; and the jealousies and cabals among men like rich fat Di
