«La aventura equinoccial de Lope de Aguirre» is the historical novel by Ramón J. Sender, published by Folio in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the sixteenth-century Spanish expedition that travels the Amazon River in search of El Dorado. The protagonist, Lope de Aguirre, is a rebellious, resentful and cruel conquistador who defies other captains and the Crown; the narrative follows his growing paranoia and shows how ambition and madness lead him to violence and ruin.
Originally published in 1964, this Folio edition belongs to the collection «La historia de España novela a novela», number 9.
A work for fans of Spanish historical fiction and sixteenth-century exploration chronicles.
