In 'The Manuscript of Air', Luis García Jambrina transports us to the dawn of the colonization of America, a period marked by contrasts, ambitions and dreams, but also by horrors and contradictions that would change the course of the history of Spain and the West. The plot unfolds in La Española, in 1515, where a devastating fire in an indigenous Taíno village, near Santo Domingo, triggers an investigation led by Fernando de Rojas, sent by King Fernando the Catholic to clarify the facts and report on the situation of the natives.
As the investigation progresses, a complex web of intrigues, passions and the search for justice in a New World full of mysteries and beauty is revealed. Rojas faces challenges that lead him to explore the darkest corners of the island, where an uncomfortable and difficult truth to accept is hidden. This historical novel immerses the reader in a detective plot that explores the early years of American colonization, with its lights and shadows.
