Description:

VIII Premio Alfaguara de Novela

En 1298, Rustichello de Pisa vive su decimocuarto año como rehén de guerra de los genoveses. Este escribano viejo y cansado alguna vez copió manuscritos para las casas reales más grandes de Europa, pero ningún monarca parece ahora interesado en pagar su rescate.

Su destino cambia cuando un nuevo prisionero viene a compartir su celda. Es Marco Polo, el viajero veneciano que llegó a los confines del Oriente. Rustichello adivina enseguida el tesoro que tiene entre manos, y así da comienzo a una epopeya secreta y grandiosa: la redacción, a partir de los relatos de Marco Polo, de una obra que le atraerá de nuevo el favor de los príncipes cristianos, el Libro de las maravillas del mundo.

Esta novela es la recreación de una época fascinante de la humanidad, la de los descubrimientos y la atracción por lo desconocido, que trasciende el marco histórico para convertir su escritura deslumbranteen un acto de libertad, transformando el espacio cerrado del calabozo en un arca donde caben el mundo real y el de los sueños. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is the year 1298 and Rustichello de Pisa, is living his fourteenth year as a Genoese prisoner of war. An old and tired scribe who had once transcribed manuscripts for the most important royal crowns of Europe is now abandoned to his own destiny with no monarch willing to pay for his release. Fate, however, gives him a new opportunity in the form of his new cell-mate, the Venetian traveler Marco Polo. Rustichello immediately recognizes the treasure that lies within the stories of the renowned adventurer and embarks on an odyssey to capture Marco Polo’s adventures on paper and complete a book that would bring him once again the favor of the Christian crowns: The book of the wonders of the world.
