Description

Premio Rómulo Gallegos 2009, El País de la Canela es la historia de una expedición fracasada, de la locura que se apoderó de aquellos conquistadores del Nuevo Mundo que deliraban a causa de las promesas de oro y opulencia. 

«Gonzalo [Pizarro] era treinta y cinco años menor que su hermano Francisco: cuando llegó a las Indias, los primogénitos ya habían vivido hallazgos y tormentos, y él tuvo que inventar sus propias locuras. El destino no le deparó como al primero un marquesado sobre la sangre seca del Inca, ni le concedió el poder subalterno del segundo, capaz de conducir sobre el océano barcos que por poco se hundían de oro. Era apuesto, era joven, era el mejor jinete de los reinos nuevos, se le medía a todo riesgo y, como sus hermanos, nunca sintió otro amor que la pasión de mandar y la embriaguez de arriesgarlo siempre todo.
 
Buscaba un reino propio que estuviera a la altura de su ambición, y la noticia del País de la Canela le dibujó en el aire un destino más rico que la ciudad de pedernal de los muertos».
