Overview

Con una perfecta unión de rigor histórico e intriga, Luis Zueco traslada al lector a una época en que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa.

Todo gran viaje comienza en los libros.

Hubo un tiempo en que los libros podían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia.

Esta novela es un viaje a los años siguientes a la invención de la imprenta, cuando un mercader de libros emprende la búsqueda de un misterioso ejemplar que ha sido robado de la mayor biblioteca de Occidente, creada en Sevilla por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón.

Año 1517. El joven Thomas atraviesa la incipiente Europa renacentista huyendo de su pasado. Son los años siguientes al descubrimiento de América y la invención de la imprenta, un periodo de profundos cambios que han supuesto el fin de la Edad Media. La curiosidad que siente por el Nuevo Mundo, cosechada en sus múltiples lecturas, le llevará hasta España, donde comenzará a trabajar con un mercader de libros.

El encargo de localizar un ejemplar envuelto en un halo misterioso le conduce hasta Sevilla, una próspera ciudad que sirve como enlace en el comercio con las Indias y que alberga, entre sus murallas, la biblioteca más importante de Occidente, creada por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón y llamada la Colombina. Será precisamente allí donde Thomas descubra que alguien ha robado el libro que él busca y, por alguna razón, tiene mucho interés en que nadie lo encuentre.

Hubo un tiempo en que los libros permitían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Luis Zueco nos sumerge en los albores de la bibliofilia y nos traslada, en una perfecta unión de rigor histórico y trama trepidante, a una época en la que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With a perfect blend of historical precision and intrigue, Luis Zueco takes the reader to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.
 
Every great journey begins inside a book.
 
There was a time when books could help discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history.
 
This novel is a trip to the years just after the invention of the printing press, when a book merchant begins a search for a mysterious copy that has been stolen from the largest library in the West, created in Seville by Christopher Columbus’ son.
 
It is the year 1517, young Thomas crosses the emerging Renaissance Europe fleeing from his past. It is in those years following America’s discovery and the invention of the printing press, a period of profound changes that meant the end of the Middle Ages. The great curiosity and attraction he feels for the New World, cultivated by his constant readings, will take him to Spain, where he will begin to work with a book merchant.
 
Luis Zueco immerses his readers in the dawn of bibliophiles and transports us, with a perfect union of historical rigor and a fast-paced plot, to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.
