Description

Isabel Allende is called the queen of magical realism and a worthy successor to the traditions of Márquez. In her 2005 novel, an unexpected main character takes center stage—a handsome adventurer, the hero of many books, films, and comics: Don Diego de la Vega, known by the nickname Zorro. The writer creates a real literary biography of a fictional character by immersing him in a real historical context: we learn about Zorro’s childhood in an Indian reservation, and together with him we find ourselves in Napoleon-occupied Spain. Everything you’d want from an exciting adventure novel is here: the clashing of sabers, the sound of hooves, pirates and secret societies, love and betrayal. It’s an incredibly engaging book that will appeal to fans of historical adventures and admirers of the legendary hero brought to life on screen by Alain Delon and Antonio Banderas.
