Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Quien fue Francisco de Orellana? Un relato al mas puro estilo Reverte, en el que historia, viaje y memoria se dan la mano para hilvanar un libro especial con el imponente rio Amazonas como escenario. El hombre del rio es la historia de un joven que partio de su Trujillo natal hacia America sediento de aventura, fama y riqueza. Hombre de armas y letras, su audacia lo llevo a sumarse a la expedicion en busca de los legendarios Pais de la Canela y El Dorado, logrando la excepcional hazana de recorrer el mayor curso fluvial del mundo gracias a su aguda inteligencia y sus habilidades diplomaticas. Mientras que muchos vieron en Orellana un traidor a su jefe Gonzalo Pizarro, Javier Reverte descubrio un personaje a la altura de heroes clasicos como Ulises, Aquiles o Hector, por los que siempre sintio una enorme fascinacion. Y en este relato se sirve de las fuentes historicas, de la narrativa de viajes y de recursos novelisticos, para ofrecernos el retrato de un hombre extraordinario en el que la ambicion se funde con la curiosidad antropologica, la tolerancia o la lealtad. Este libro no solo tiene la intencion de relatar una gran aventura, de ayudar a borrar la fama de traidor de un hombre excepcional, sino tambien la de trazar un retrato veraz de un conquistador diferente a todos los otros que participaron en la gigantesca tarea del Descubrimiento y la Conquista. Y es, ademas, el pago de la deuda que yo tenia con el curso de agua mas grande de la Tierra, el Amazonas, el rio de la desolacion y de la desmesura, en donde Orellana perdio la vida y yo, casi. -Javier ReverteENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWho was Francisco de Orellana? A tale in the purest Reverte style, in which history, quest, and memory shake hands to weave a special book with the imposing Amazon River as backstage. The Man from the River is the story of a young man that left his native Trujillo for America, thirsty for adventure, fame, and wealth. As a man of arms and letters, his audacity led him to join the expedition in search for the legendary Pais de la Canela and El Dorado, achieving the extraordinary feat of traversing the worlds greatest watercourse due to his acute intelligence and his diplomatic abilities. While many saw Orellana as a traitor to his commander, Gonzalo Pizarro, Javier Reverte discovers a character equal to classic heroes such as Ulysses, Achilles, or Hector, for whom he always felt an enormous fascination. And in this tale, he uses historical sources, travel narrative, and novelistic resources to offer readers the portrait of an extraordinary man in whom ambition fuses with anthropological curiosity, tolerance, or loyalty. This book not only aims to tell a great adventure and help erase an exceptional mans stigma as traitor, but also outline a truthful picture of a conquistador different from all others who participated in the gigantic task of Discovery and Conquest. Besides, I am paying my debt to the biggest watercourse on Earth, the Amazon, river of desolation and excess, where Orellana lost his life and I almost did.
