Cuando llega un gale n castellano, el animal es testigo de las relaciones entre colonizadores e ind genas y se convierte en moneda de cambio entre ellos. La llevan hasta Madrid, donde su vida correr peligro si no consigue escapar de un destino sin sentido. A su alrededor, se teje una trama de intereses y corruptelas entre pol ticos sin escr pulos, libertinos codiciosos y desertores imperiales justo cuando el mayor imperio de la cristiandad est entrando en decadencia. En su fascinante nueva novela, Carlos Bardem ha construido con destreza y precisi n un minucioso fresco hist rico que refleja el gobierno depredador de los imperios espa ol y portugu s, la peligrosidad de la Inquisici n y los graves abusos de la colonizaci n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Based on a true story, Badaq is an exquisitely narrated moral fable in which an animal speaks out against the greed of humanity, religious fanatism, and the destruction of nature by human hands. 1583. A badak, or rhinoceros in Indonesia, is quietly grazing in the Island of Pawu. When a Castilian galleon arrives, the animal witnesses the relationship between the settlers and the indigenous people, and becomes a bargaining chip for them. She is taken to Madrid, where her life will be in danger if she doesn't manage to escape a senseless fate. Around her, a web of interests and corruption weaves among unscrupulous politicians, greedy libertines, and imperial deserters, at a time when the greatest empire in all Christendom begins to decline. In his fascinating new novel, Carlos Barden skillfully and accurately creates a detailed historical fresco to reflect the predatory government of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, the dangers of the Inquisition, and the serious abuse of colonization.
