New York. 1992. Atheneum. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0689121237. Translated from the Spanish by Sarah Arvio. 277 pages. hardcover. Jacket design (c) 1992 by Gloria Adelson/Lulu Graphics Tr. #1411(3)-Lienzo de Tlaxcala. keywords: Literature Translated Argentina Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Abel Posse's novel THE DOGS OF PARADISE is about Columbus, and in DAIMON, Posse continues his trilogy about the early encounters between Europeans and his native continent in a book about Lope de Aguirre, one of the most rapacious conquistadores. Aguirre was one of Pizarro's lieutenants in the conquest of Peru. At a critical moment on an expedition in the Amazon he threw over everything that was valuable to him, slaying his comrades (including his fifteen-year-old daughter), betraying his commander, his king, and even his God to establish the first free territory of America,' the Marañon Empire. From his jungle fastness Aguirre dreamed of seizing Peru, reconquering Spain, and taking over the world. Cruel, amoral, believing solely in the will to power, the revels of war, the heat of delirium,' Aguirre in real life was unable to realize his brutal ambitions. But in this brilliant reimagining of his story, we see an Aguirre who lived on after death, aging and suffering in the Eternal Return, with profound implications for both the Old World and the New. Baroque, erotic, surreal, and profoundly ironic, DAIMON is fully the equal of Abel Posse's The Dogs of Paradise, which the San Francisco Chronicle described as astonishing in its inventiveness, richness of historical detail, and vividness of description.' inventory #25550 ISBN: 0689121237.
