Summary
Baltasar Monta$nez, an eighteenth-century Puerto Rican, the son of a slave leader, renounces his own people and marries the daughter of the secretary of state, in a government deal to ease tension between the ruling and slave classes.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Esta novela recrea un ficticio levantamiento de esclavos en el Puerto Rico del siglo XVIII; una historia que no fue pero pudo haber sido. RodrÃguez Juliá adopta la forma de tres conferencias dictadas por el historiógrafo Alejandro Cadalso, en las que se describe a Baltasar Montañez, figura situada entre el mito y la historia. La narración va elaborando un falso siglo XVIII en el que se vislumbra el fin próximo del régimen colonial y de la esclavitud. Esta primera novela de RodrÃguez Juliá, con su "falso siglo XVIII", es representativa de la actitud de su generación ante la historia: elaborar textos que recreen imaginativamente el acontecer histórico.
