Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Its a shame more exceptional fiction authors don't take the time to research and publish historical accounts. If the results were as good as Fuentes', many more people would take the time to read it. Ideal for both scholars and anyone looking for an excellent read. Fuentes outlines the progression of Spanish culture from Europe to the New World and the devastating impact it had on the civilizations already living their. While clearly detailing the inherent evil in the actions of the Spanish and English in the New World, Fuentes moves the reader through the evolution of political, societal and cultural development, illustrating the way in which separate cultures evolved into a rich fabric, albeit painfully. Fuentes objectively writes history neither indicting nor rewarding, rather recounting historical occurence and its impact on today's South, Central, and North American peoples as well as the Spanish.
