Synopsis

Starting from a detailed reading of the Chronicle of the Indies that Inca Garcilaso dedicated to Hernando de Soto's expedition through Florida, this splendid historical novel recreates what could have been the last meeting between Garcilaso and one of the survivors of that expedition, Captain Gonzalo Silvestre. Concepción Valverde, winner of The Fajardo Library´s Albert Jovell Novel Award, immerses us in the exciting and highly topical figure of Garcilaso de la Vega. Born in Peru, son of a Spanish captain and an Inca princess, his prominence as a writer and chronicler lies in his mestizo origins, of which he emblazoned with healthy pride because he felt as Indian as he was Spanish. A fertile alloy that he incorporated into his work in a convulsive time and that would lead him to be considered the "Father of Literature" in the American continent. The Solitudes of the Inca recreates, in an original and splendid way, and with credit worthiness one of the least known passages in the life of the Inca Garcilaso. JOSÉ ANTONIO MAZZOTTI

En 2018 publicó El último fado, un inquietante domestic noir de inesperado desenlace. Con su tercera novela, Las Soledades del Inca, nos acerca de la mano del Inca Garcilaso de la Vega a la expedición de Hernando de Soto por tierras de la Florida.
