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.
