A small group of survivors including Guerrero wash up on a beach in Yucatán. Captured by Cocome Mayans, some are sacrificed; the rest are enslaved. Two survive: the young priest Jerónimo de Aguilar and the seasoned soldier Guerrero. They are redeemed by the rival and more sympathetic Tutul Xiúe Mayans. Jerónimo clings to his prayerbook, while Gonzalo becomes fascinated with Mayan culture and religion, joining with his new Mayan family to fight against Spanish conquest. For his crime, he is wiped from the record books of colonial Spain. Though little is known of Guerrero today, in this masterful short novel he becomes a larger-than-life figure of resistance and honor.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 8.51 x 5.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47490359263453,"sku":"9780826366863","price":18.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/WVlv79jFKT9780826366863.webp?v=1771894673","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/guerrero-a-novel-of-conquest-and-resistance-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
