«La Controverse de Valladolid» is the historical novel by Jean-Claude Carrière, published by Pocket in paperback format (189 pages, in French).
In 1550, Christendom wonders whether Native Americans are inferior beings who must be subjugated and converted or free and equal men. A papal legacy brings together two opposing Spanish clergymen: Ginés de Sepúlveda, in favor of war in the name of God, and Bartolomé de las Casas, defender of the indigenous people against slavery.
The work was originally published in 1992; the Pocket edition in French dates from March 5, 1993.
For readers of fiction set in the 16th century with an ethical and philosophical backdrop.
