Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Good. Before he became the legendary masked hero, he was Diego de la Vega, a boy growing up in Alta California at the end of the eighteenth century, the son of a Spanish nobleman and a mother of Indigenous and Spanish heritage. Raised between two cultures, Diego learns horsemanship and swordplay alongside the wisdom of his mother’s people, and witnesses firsthand the injustices suffered by the native population under colonial rule. As a teenager he is sent to Barcelona for his education, where he finds a city under Napoleonic occupation. There he trains in fencing, joins a secret society dedicated to justice, falls in love with the beautiful Juliana, and faces dangerous enemies and rivals. Through adventures that take him across Europe, onto pirate ships and back to his homeland, he finally becomes the defender of the oppressed known as Zorro. Told with humor, romance and swashbuckling energy by a narrator whose identity is revealed only at the end, Isabel Allende’s novel reimagines the origins of one of popular culture’s most enduring heroes. A lively and richly historical adventure, Zorro is a delight for fans of Allende and of classic tales of daring and justice.
