Mexico

Pulitzer Prize-winning author James A. Michener has taken us from the far reaches of history to the dark corners of the world. Now he gives us a masterful novel of a land whose past and present are as turbulent, fascinating, and colorful as any on earth. Here is the story of an American journalist who travels to report on the upcoming duel between two great matadors but who is ultimately swept up in the dramatic story of his Mexican ancestors-from the brutality and brilliance of the ancients, to the iron fist of the invading Spaniards, to the modern-day Mexicans battling through dust and bloodshed to build a nation upon the ashes of revolution. Architectural splendors, frenzied bullfights, horrific human sacrifice: James Michener weaves them all into an epic human story that ranks with the best of his beloved, bestselling novels.Michener, James A. is the author of 'Mexico' with ISBN 9780449221877 and ISBN 0449221873.
