9El Defensor de la Fe no puede descansar aún: está obligado a llevar la cruz a esos infieles... podrá gobernar, al fin, un mundo justo y libre?

Felipe II, el "Defensor de la Fe", es el soberano más poderoso del orbe. Largos años ha luchado contra judíos, musulmanes y protestantes, y sus súbditos han sufrido excesivos impuestos, pestes, intolerancia... Su reinado agoniza en tanto nace un mundo diferente: los castillos son sustituidos por las ciudades, los campesinos por los villanos, los príncipes y reyes por los burgueses; falsos profetas dominan los caminos y hablan de un renacimiento. Felipe está cansado y enfermo; el arrepentimiento de sus excesos lo lleva a recluirse al lugar que ha mandado construir para ser su última morada: el Escorial. Entonces aparecen tres jóvenes misteriosos con una cruz encarnada en sus espaldas; uno de ellos habla de un mundo nuevo, un Edén con bellas ciudades, volcanes y pirámides, donde presiden la crueldad, el dolor y la muerte junto a fantásticos seres sobrenaturales como la señora de las mariposas

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Terra Nostra is one of the great masterpieces of modern Latin American fiction. Concerned with nothing less than the history of Spain and of South America, with the Indian Gods and with Christianity, with the birth, the passion, and the death of civilizations, Fuentes's great novel is, indeed, that rare creation--the total work of art.

Magnificently translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, Terra Nostra is, as Milan Kundera says in his afterword, "the spreading out of the novel, the exploration of its possibilities, the voyage to the edge of what only a novelist can see and say."
