520    $a A comienzos del Siglo XVII Cartagena de Indias es la urbe m?s fascinante del nuevo mundo. En ella desembocan todas las rutas terrestres y mar?timas del imperio espa?ol, pues en sus formidables fortificaciones se almacenan las reservas del oro y la plata destinadas a satisfacer las siempre acuciantes necesidades del Rey de Espa?a. Pero bajo ese aparente florecimiento se ocultan la crueldad, la ambici?n y los vicios que impregnan todos los estamentos sociales de aquella enigm?tica ciudad. La amenaza de la pirater?a, la prostituci?n, la codicia, el abuso de poder y las pasiones m?s encendidas se entremezclan en una trama trepidante. Es en aquel escenario donde desembarca Alonso, un brillante letrado sevillano, huyendo del desamor. All? se convierte casi sin quererlo en la pieza clave en el choque entre dos mundos enfrentados: el emergente colonial y el ind?gena en declive. -- back of cover.
520    $a "At the beginning of the 17th century, Cartagena de Indias is the most fascinating city in the new world. All the land and sea routes of the Spanish Empire flow into it, as its formidable fortifications store the gold and silver reserves destined to satisfy the always pressing needs of the King of Spain. But under that apparent flourishing, cruelty, ambition and vices that permeate all social classes of that enigmatic city are hidden. The threat of piracy, prostitution, greed, abuse of power and the most heated passions intertwine in a fast-paced plot. It is on that stage that Alonso, a brilliant Sevillian lawyer, lands, running away from heartbreak. There, almost unwittingly, he becomes the key player in the clash between two opposing worlds: the emerging colonial one and the indigenous and in decline one."--
