Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman

A new Inquisition, in the form of the tormented Cardinal Guzman, threatens the eccentric, utopian life of the inhabitants of Cochadebajo, a small Andean village. De Bernieres`s novel is a work of social criticism, illuminating the ills that have plagued Latin America since the days of the Spanish conquistadors, as well as a rollicking adventure in magical realism.
