Yo: don Pedro Blanco, negrero. Un loco. Gigante o monstruo. El Mongo Blanco. El Gran Mago-Espejo-Sol. El Rey de Gallinas. El Pirata. El Padre. El Hermano. De los arrabales de M laga al trono de frica, de la gloria de La Habana a un manicomio de Barcelona. Una pistola. Si tuviera una pistola manchar a una pared con mis sesos. Esta es mi culpa y mi penitencia. Esta es mi historia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Carlos Bardem returns with the thrilling saga of a real person, the legendary Mongo Blanco, in an epic, ambitious novel filled with action. After the death of his father, young Pedro Blanco of M laga turns to the sea in search of a better future. Thanks to his skill and willpower, he climbs the ranks until he becomes Mongo Blanco, one of the biggest slave traders of the 19th century. But betrayal by someone very close to him leads him to the brink of his fall from grace. That's how he tells it to his doctor at the asylum he is locked in, without suspecting that his story hasn't yet ended, that someone from his past has come back to collect on an old debt. At the end of his life, Mongo Blanco has the chance to redeem himself or finally fall victim to his excesses. Spain, Cuba, and Africa are some of the settings of this engrossing, richly set tale, minutely researched and written with an astonishing level of detail and emotion, which will captivate all lovers of historical novels, adventure novels, or literature in general. "I: don Pedro Blanco, slave trader. A madman. Giant or monster. Mongo Blanco. The Great Mirror-Sun-Magician. The King of Chickens. The Pirate. The Father. The Brother. From the slums of M laga to the throne of Africa, from the glory of Havana to a loony bin in Barcelona. A pistol. If I had a pistol, I would stain a wall with my brains. This is my fault and my penitence. This is my story."
