Maluco. La novela de los descubridores

Napoleón Baccino’s Maluco is a brilliant reimagining of Ferdinand Magellan’s voyage around the world, narrated by the fleet’s jester, Juanillo. Far from the polished accounts of official chroniclers, Juanillo offers a "true relation" of misery, hunger, and broken dreams.

The novel subverts the traditional epic, humanizing the icons of the Age of Discovery and exploring the "inner journey" that proves more treacherous than the circumnavigation itself. It is a masterpiece of universal scope where the reader recognizes the permanent human condition through irony and rebellion.
