Description
The novel “CivilizatiOns” (2019) describes an alternative history of the discovery of America: the Inca people, led by the legendary Atahualpa, arrive in the Old/New World and become conquerors, political strategists, reformers—and even anthropologists as they try to decipher rituals and adopt the customs of Europe’s indigenous peoples.
The novel features Emperor Charles V and representatives of European royal dynasties from the first half of the 16th century, a priest Martin Luther, banker Anton Fugger, thinkers Thomas More and Erasmus of Rotterdam, a warrior and future writer Miguel de Cervantes. The author experiments by combining literary genres—Scandinavian epic, diaries, letters, poetry, an adventure novel.
The book questions, if not outright refutes, our prejudices regarding the hierarchy of civilizations, while the author stays precise in representing the historical background of the events unfolding.
