The work reimagines the figure of Lope de Aguirre, a Spanish conquistador who, during an Amazonian expedition, betrays his companions and the crown to found the so-called empire of Marañón. With a baroque, ironic and surrealist narrative, the author turns Aguirre into a character who remains alive after death, in an eternal return with consequences for America and Europe. The novel is part of Posse's trilogy on the first encounters between Europeans and the American continent.
The novel belongs to Abel Posse's trilogy on the encounters between Europeans and America, preceded by «Los perros del paraíso». This paperback edition was published in 1992 within the Biblioteca de Autor collection.
