C1 Samuel SHELLABARGER. CAPITAINE DE CASTILLE. Edition Le Pavois 1948, broche, Grand Format 14*19 cm, 638 pages. COUVERTURE ILLUSTREE COULEURS. Plats un peu salis, autrement BON ETAT, Traduit de l'Americain (Captain from Castile - 1945) Ce roman qui évoquait pour la première fois sans fard la conquete de l'Amérique par les Espagnols, connut au lendemain de la dernière guerre un succès inoui (au point de devancer pendant trois ans Ambre de Kathleen Winsor sur la liste des meilleures ventes). L'intransigeance de l'auteur y était pour quelque chose, qui ne manqua pas de faire scandale. Shellabarger, historien américain passé au roman, osait en effet évoquer par le détail la première tentative de génocide de l'Histoire : l'anéantissement de la civilisation amérindienne au profit des conquérants venus de la vieille Europe. A travers le destin aventureux du jeune Pedro de Vargas, noble rejeton de la chevalerie castillane, c'est toute l'histoire de la découverte du Nouveau Monde qui nous est ici contée, impitoyablement. Enrolé dans les troupes de Cortés, Pedro assistera en première ligne à la chute de Mexico. L'empire aztèque s'effondre dans un bain de sang. On met à mort hommes et dieux, tandis que la Sainte Inquisition, dans l'ombre, pousse au pire les nouveaux croisés de la "civilisation". Résumer les épisodes de ce récit qui n'accorde aucun répit au pauvre lecteur, recenser tous les coups de théâtre, les machinations, les pièges qui en balisent le cours est chose impossible. On se bornera à rappeler ce qu'avait clamé d'une voix presque unanime la critique américaine à la sortie du livre : que Shellabarger élevait avec Capitaine de Castille le roman de cape et d'épée à l'altitude de l'épopée. Une épopée en négatif, d'une noirceur exemplaire. Adapte au cinema par Henry KING en 1947 avec Tyrone POWER, Jean PETERS, etc ***** ATTENTION ! ! A PARTIR DU 1er JUILLET, LE TARIF ECONOMIQUE LIVRE ET BROCHURE N'EXISTE PLUS. ENVOI A L'INTERNATIONAL EN TARIF COURRIER OU COLISSIMO, BEAUCOUP PLUS ONEREUX.…
