Synopsis "Conquistadores de lo Imposible (in Spanish)"

A partir del mítico año de 1492, y durante las siguientes seis décadas, un país que acaba de culminar una épica reconquista, descubrirá, conquistará y colonizará un continente inmenso que ha permanecido hasta entonces cerrado al resto del mundo. ¿Quiénes eran Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, Diego de Almagro, Bartolomé de las Casas o Lope de Aguirre? ¿Quiénes sus acompañantes en esos viajes y qué enco ntraron en aquellas tierras? ¿Qué los llevaba a regresar una y otra vez al fascinante Nuevo Mundo? Con su característico estilo realista, José Ángel Mañas novela la mayor epopeya de la historia de España, recreando las dramáticas circunstancias de la más extraordinaria aventura protagonizada por nación alguna.

José Ángel Mañas was born in Madrid on October 22, 1971. He holds a degree in Contemporary History from the Autonomous University of Madrid. In 1994, he was a finalist for the Nadal Prize with his first work, Historias del Kronen. The novel had a great impact and paved the way for a new generation of writers. After its publication, the writer lived for several years between Madrid and Toulouse. He currently resides in Madrid. A finalist for the Nadal Prize in 1994, inspiring one of the highest-grossing films of the nineties and selected by the newspaper El Mundo as one of the hundred best Spanish novels of all time, Historias del Kronen, the debut work of José Ángel Mañas (Madrid, 1971), no longer needs an introduction and has been considered, on its own merits, as a true contemporary classic, an unavoidable reference point in fin de siècle literature in Spanish. Following Kronen, Mañas has written a dozen more novels, among which Ciudad rayada stands out especially for its quality and verbal fantasy. Other works published by the author: Mensaka, La pella, Soy un escritor frustrado, Sospecha, La literatura explicada a los asnos, Todos iremos al paraíso.
