«L'or de Cajamalca» is the historical novel by Jakob Wassermann and François Mathieu, published by L'Ecole des loisirs in paperback (103 pages, in French).
The monk Domingo de Soira Luce recalls, thirty years later, the fall of Cajamarca: in 1532, Francisco Pizarro captures the Inca Atahualpa. The narrative contrasts the greed of the conquistadors with the Inca world and ends in an apocalyptic vision that anticipates the antisemitic persecutions Wassermann experienced.
Work originally published in German in 1923 as «Das Gold von Caxamalca»; this French edition, in the Médium collection of L'Ecole des loisirs, dates from 1989.
For readers interested in the Spanish conquest of the Americas and in historical fiction; it has also been used as school reading.
Jakob Wassermann was a German writer and novelist.
