En la época cuando el pueblo taíno llamaba a su isla hogar Borikén, los españoles se referían a ella como la isla de San Juan Bautista. Allí, dos culturas muy diferentes se enfrentaron en una lucha que ayudó a definir a un nuevo pueblo. En medio de esa lucha, un hombre se dispuso a crear una vida para sí mismo. Tomando riesgos para cambiar su destino encontró la vida que buscaba, y el amor que él no sabía que necesitaba, en un lugar inesperado....entre los taínos. Su nueva vida reveló las diferencias entre los taínos y españoles y presentó un reto a sus creencias y lealtades. Dos Santos se desenlaza dentro de un marco histórico cuidadosamente investigado por el autor. Este libro ofrece una oportunidad única para acercarse a la cultura taína del período, mientras expone un capítulo fascinante de los inicios de la conquista española del 'nuevo mundo'. ---- Dos Santos is a novel, available in Spanish and English, set in the earliest days of the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean island that would eventually be called Puerto Rico. There two vastly different cultures met in a struggle that would help define a new people. In the midst of that struggle one man set out to find a place of himself. Taking risks to change his destiny he found the life he sought, and the love he didn't know he needed, in an unexpected place...among the indigenous Taino people of the island. His new life exposed the differences between the Tainos and the Spaniards and challenged his beliefs and loyalties. Dos Santos is set within a carefully researched historical backdrop. This book will give the reader a rare glimpse into the life of the Taino culture of the period, while retracing a fascinating chapter in the early Spanish conquest of the "new world."
