The Return of Carvajal – A Mystery
Autor Ilan Stavans, Eko Ekoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2019
Called el Mozo (the Younger) to distinguish him from an uncle of the same name who was governor of Nuevo Len, Luis de Carvajal learned of his Jewishness after being raised a Catholic. He came to recognize himself as a messiah for fellow crypto-Jews, and he was burned at the stake on December 8, 1596, in the biggest auto-da-f in all of Latin America. His memoir--a 180-page manuscript written by a crypto-Jew targeted by the Holy Office of the Inquisition for unlawful proselytizing activities--was not only distinct but of enormous value.
With characters such as conniving academics embroiled in a scholarly feud, a magnanimous philanthropist, nave booksellers, and a secondary cast that could be taken from a David Lynch film, The Return of Carvajal recounts the global intrigue that placed crypto-Jewish culture at the heart of contemporary debates on religion and identity.
