World Without End
Rs 895.00Following “Rivers of Gold” and “The Golden Empire “and” “building on five centuries of scholarship, “World Without End “is the epic conclusion of an unprecedented three-volume history of the Spanish Empire from one of the most productive and wide-ranging historians of modern times (“The New York Times Book Review”).
The legacy of imperial Spain was shaped by many hands. But the dramatic human story of the extraordinary projection of Spanish might in the second half of the sixteenth century has never been fully told until now. In “World Without End, ” Hugh Thomas chronicles the lives, loves, conflicts, and conquests of the complex men and women who carved up the Americas for the glory of Spain.
Chief among them is the towering figure of King Philip II, the cultivated Spanish monarch whom a contemporary once called the arbiter of the world. Cheerful and pious, he inherited vast authority from his father, Emperor Charles V, but nevertheless felt himself unworthy to wield it. His forty-two-year reign changed the face of the globe forever. Alongside Philip we find the entitled descendants of New Spain s original explorers men who, like their king, came into possession of land they never conquered and wielded supremacy they never sought. Here too are the Roman Catholic religious leaders of the Americas, whose internecine struggles created possibilities that the emerging Jesuit order was well-positioned to fill. -
