Abstract

A young child possessed by demons, two complicit Indian servants, a Spanish governor who borders on the sadistic, corrupt conquistadors, the brothers of the order of St. Augustine ... These are the characters of Bertrand's dense and captivating portrait of Spanish expansion and the Philippines in the 1570s
