Synopsis "Ursúa (in Spanish)"

Ursúa es una apasionante novela histórica sobre la vida de un joven que a los 17 años se vio «encargado de una gobernación» en el recién descubierto Nuevo Mundo. Allí donde mostró su arrogancia, oyó por primera vez la historia del oro que le llevó a una «rutina de guerras y crueldades» y le cegó para siempre.
