Sobre IBD

La emocionante novela histórica de Howard Headworth nos lleva a los años de 1480 en España. Para los españoles es el amanecer de la época dorada del país.

Y lejos al oeste, un Nuevo Mundo hace señas.....Descripciones gloriosas de batalles y conflictos, los horrores de la Inquisición Español, el trazo de acontecimientos históricos llevando a la entrada de los Reyes Católicos en Granada en 1492, una panoplia de caracteres, perfiles de las tradiciones y habilidades de los campesinos musulmanes en Al-Andalus, y finalmente el primer viaje de Cristóbal Colón a las Indias, hacen de este libro un singular tesoro.Howard Headworth vive en Almería, España, durante veinte años. Nació en Gales y estudió geología en la universidad allí y en Londres. Usa su gran experiencia como director científico así como su pasión para la historia de su país adoptivo en esta novela histórica.
