Con el pulso de los maestros del g?nero y una original perspectiva, Sergio Mart?nez nos ofrece una brillante novela hist?rica en la que Carlos V y un ambicioso explorador espa?ol nos llevan a aquel imperio donde nunca se pon?a el sol.
Siglo XVI. Despu?s de una existencia dedicada a conquistar nuevas tierras a golpe de espada, fuego y l?grimas, Mart?n del Puerto acude al monasterio de Yuste sin saber que su destino se ver? ligado al del emperador Carlos V. En ese apacible rinc?n alejado del mundo, el monarca ha decidido retirarse tras su abdicaci?n ahora que su fin se acerca. Los d?as de gloria han quedado atr?s para los dos hombres, pero cada tarde quien fuera el rey m?s poderoso del mundo y el viejo marinero se sientan juntos para compartir confidencias y recuerdos. Mientras el emperador languidece, los relatos del intr?pido explorador lo hacen viajar a aquellas lejanas tierras que le pertenecieron y que nunca lleg? a pisar. Aventuras, desdichas y retazos de una traves?a extraordinaria ilustrar?n c?mo las expediciones a las Indias no solo unieron dos mundos, sino tambi?n dos formas de concebir la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Taking cues from the masters but with a perspective all his own, Sergio Mart?nez has written a brilliant historical novel featuring Charles V and an ambitious Spanish explorer that transports us to an empire where the sun never set.
Sixteenth-century Spain. After years spent conquering new lands through fire, steel and tears, Mart?n del Puerto arrives at the monastery of Yuste unaware that fate has linked him to the Emperor Charles V. After abdicating the throne and with the end of his life approaching, the monarch has chosen this remote and quiet retreat for his retirement. Their glory days may be behind them, but every afternoon the man who was once the world's most powerful ruler and the grizzled mariner sit together to share confidences and memories. The explorer's stories transport the old king to distant lands he commanded but never visited. The adventures and misfortunes del Puerto recounts illuminate the ways the conquest of the Indies not only linked two worlds but also two ways of thinking about life.
