A badaq -- or Indonesian rhinoceros -- grazes peacefully on the island of Pawu. When a Castilian galleon arrives, the animal witnesses the relations between colonizers and indigenous people and becomes a currency between them. They take it to Madrid, where his life will be in danger if he does not manage to escape from a senseless destiny. Around him, a web of interests and corruption is woven between unscrupulous politicians, greedy libertines and imperial deserters just when the greatest empire of Christendom is entering into decline. In his fascinating new novel, Carlos Bardem has skillfully and precisely constructed a meticulous historical fresco that reflects the predatory government of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, the danger of the Inquisition and the serious abuses of colonization." $c Back cover 648 7 $a 1516-1700 $2 fast 650 0 $a Rhinoceroses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Imperialism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968126 651 0 $a Spain $x History $y House of Austria, 1516-1700 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Spain $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Fables. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9ED5C454FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
