Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"Wonderful...a book that connects us to the global story of
ourselves." -Sandra Cisneros
In this beautifully written, highly original work, John Phillip
Santos- the author of "Places Left Unfinished at the Time of
Creation"-creates a virtuosic meditation on ancestry and origins.
Weaving together a poetic mix of family remembrance, personal
odyssey, conquest history, and magical realism, Santos recounts his
quest to find the missing chronicle of his mother's family, who
arrived in southern Texas in the 1620s. As Santos traces their
roots to northern Spain, he re-imagines the way we think about
identity. The result is a uniquely engaging adventure in the
frontier between self and family, past and present, at a time when
breakthroughs in genetics are changing our window on history.
