Produktbeschreibung
There was a time when the fate of America was decided in the taverns of New Orleans. Spain, in the shadows, moved its pieces while a new nation was born. A young spy infiltrated conspirators, merchants, and patriots with a mission that could change everything. This is the story no one told you about the independence of the United States. El fuego en el Misisipi reveals the exciting story--inspired by real events--of Alfonso Salazar, a young man fleeing pain and loss to reinvent himself in vibrant Spanish Louisiana. Under a false identity and in the service of the government of Charles III, he becomes a privileged witness to diplomatic intrigues, Creole rebellions, and the birth of a nation. Amid spies, conspirators, merchants, and revolutionaries, Alfonso faces moral dilemmas, impossible loves, and the weight of history being written with every step. In the best tradition of adventure storytelling, Juan Pérez-Foncea rescues an unknown but crucial episode: Spain's decisive intervention in American independence. A novel that combines rigor and emotion, adventure and memory, to shed light on a fire--that of the Mississippi--that still burns at the foundations of the modern world.
Autorenporträt
JUAN PÉREZ-FONCEA nació en San Sebastián en 1965. Tras licenciarse en Derecho, una beca del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores le permitió especializarse en Derecho Internacional y Europeo en las Universidades de Lovaina y Lieja (Bélgica). Trabajó como abogado de empresas en España y Francia durante 14 años, y así hubiera continuado hasta hoy, si no hubiera sido porque, un buen día de 2002, de un modo enteramente casual, casi sin saberlo, comenzó a escribir su primer libro, dando inicio su carrera literaria como autor de novelas de fantasía épica. Su paso a la novela histórica se produjo en 2012. Desde entonces lleva publicados títulos tan exitosos como 'Los Tercios no se rinden', 'El héroe del Caribe. La última batalla de Blas de Lezo', 'Venced al corsario inglés', 'Los primeros de Filipinas' o 'Invencibles', editados todos ellos por Almuzara. Sus obras cuentan con miles de lectores a ambos lados del Atlántico.
