Product Description

Review

"Terra Nostra is the spreading out of the novel, the exploration of its possibilities, the voyage to the edge of what only a novelist can see and say."

Product Description

The life and times of Philip II of Spain form the core of Carlos Fuentes's novel. Here chronological time and conventional history are abolished as Philip builds El Escorial, marries England's Elizabeth Tudor and witnesses the discovery of the New World.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terra Nostra, 11 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Terra Nostra is an epic, sprawling tale written by author at the pinnacle of erudition and imagination. Fuentes cultural knowledge is hugely extensive and adds authenticity to a tale of fantasy, of romance and of passion. Just in the way Eco offers us worlds just beyond the 'real', Carlos Fuentes offers us a world too close to what we know of history to be false, yet too fantastical to be true. Fuentes vision is undeniably grand and premier in its audacity and rigour.
