1492: The Life And Times of Juan Cabezon of Castile - Softcover
Synopsis
Aridjis, a popular Mexican poet, and his translator wife provide English-speaking audiences an English version of his 1985 novel of a picaresque love story between two conversos (converts to Christianity) set in the waning years of 15th-century Spain. Although Christopher Columbus appears briefly as a deus ex machina who saves the hero from the clutches of the Inquisition, the book really focuses on another major event of 1492--the expulsion of the Jews. As a fictionalized account of the persecution of the Jews and a portrayal of the intolerance of religious fanaticism, the work conjures up images of pogroms, Salem witch hunts, and the Holocaust. The good translation, unfortunately marred by an anemic style, is recommended only for strong historical fiction or Judaica collections. - Lawrence Olszewski, OCLC, Dublin, Ohio Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
