Con ingenio e imaginaci�n, David Liss describe un mundo de subterfugios y peligros, donde arraigadas tradiciones culturales y religiosas chocan con las exigencias de una nueva y emocionante forma de negocios

Amsterdam, 1659. En la primera bolsa de valores del mundo, la riqueza se hace y se pierde en un instante. Miguel Lienzo, un h�bil comerciante de la comunidad jud�a de origen portugu�s, lo ha perdido todo por el repentino hundimiento del mercado del az�car. Obligado a vivir de la caridad de su mezquino hermano, est� dispuesto a hacer lo que sea por cambiar su suerte. En contra de las reglas de la comunidad jud�a, decide asociarse con la seductora Geertruid en un osado plan para monopolizar el tr�fico de una nueva mercanc�a: el caf�. Para triunfar, Miguel tendr� que arriesgarlo todo y poner a prueba los l�mites de su astucia; al tiempo que se enfrenta a un enemigo que no se detendr� con tal de verlo caer.

We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
