«La cabeza de Balboa» is the historical novel by Juan David Morgan, published in Spanish.
The "non-fiction" novel reconstructs the early years of the conquest of Tierra Firme: the rivalry between Vasco Núñez de Balboa and Pedrarias Dávila, their cross-accusations, and the trial that chronicler Pedro Mártir de Anglería recounts to Pope Leo X. The action alternates between Renaissance Rome and the Darién jungle.
The action is set between 1513 and 1519, before Hernán Cortés reached the Mexican coast and Pizarro arrived in Peru.
Readers of historical fiction interested in the conquest of the Americas and the figure of Vasco Núñez de Balboa.
