Todo gran viaje comienza en los libros.

Con una perfecta unión de rigor histórico e intriga, Luis Zueco traslada al lector a una época en que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa.

Hubo un tiempo en que los libros podían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia.

Esta novela es un viaje a los años siguientes a la invención de la imprenta, cuando un mercader de libros emprende la búsqueda de un misterioso ejemplar que ha sido robado de la mayor biblioteca de Occidente, creada en Sevilla por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón.

Año 1517. El joven Thomas atraviesa la incipiente Europa renacentista huyendo de su pasado. Son los años siguientes al descubrimiento de América y la invención de la imprenta, un periodo de profundos cambios que han supuesto el fin de la Edad Media. La curiosidad que siente por el Nuevo Mundo, cosechada en sus múltiples lecturas, le llevará hasta España, donde comenzará a trabajar con un mercader de libros.

El encargo de localizar un ejemplar envuelto en un halo misterioso le conduce hasta Sevilla, una próspera ciudad que sirve como enlace en el comercio con las Indias y que alberga, entre sus murallas, la biblioteca más importante de Occidente, creada por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón y llamada la Colombina. Será precisamente allí donde Thomas descubra que alguien ha robado el libro que él busca y, por alguna razón, tiene mucho interés en que nadie lo encuentre.

Hubo un tiempo en que los libros permitían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Luis Zueco nos sumerge en los albores de la bibliofilia y nos traslada, en una perfecta unión de rigor histórico y trama trepidante, a una época en la que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Every great journey begins inside a book.

With a perfect blend of historical rigor and intrigue, Luis Zueco takes the reader to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.

There was a time when books could help discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history.

This novel is a trip to the years just after the invention of the printing press, when a book merchant begins a search for a mysterious copy that has been stolen from the largest library in the West, created in Seville by Christopher Columbus' son.

It is the year 1517, young Thomas crosses the emerging Renaissance Europe fleeing from his past. It is in those years following America's discovery and the invention of the printing press, a period of profound changes that meant the end of the Middle Ages. The great curiosity and attraction he feels for the New World, cultivated by his constant readings, will take him to Spain, where he will begin to work with a book merchant.

The task of locating a copy shrouded in mystery takes him to Seville, a prosperous city that serves as a link in trade with the Indies and which holds, within its walls, the most important library in the West, created by Christopher Columbus' son and called the Colombina. It is precisely there that Thomas discovers that someone has stolen the book he is looking for and, for some reason, is very keen to ensure that no one finds it. There was a time when books allowed us to discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history.

Luis Zueco immerses his readers in the dawn of bibliophiles and transports us, with a perfect union of historical rigor and a fast-paced plot, to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.

great for teething puppies
Color: Stick
I have puppies that are 6 weeks old and this toy has been great. They like to gnaw on it as their teeth are erupting. I easy to clean, washer and dryer. I have several other teething toys from same company as I liked this one so much. Would purchase again, highly recommend for teething pups.

My English springer spaniels favorite toy!
Color: Stick, Color: Stick
Boomer, my English springer spaniel loves this toy, it is by far his favorite since he was a young puppy. He is three now and although the original toy is still useable it was showing a little wear so I purchased a second one for his third birthday. He was an aggressive chewer when he was younger and I had a great deal of difficulty in finding toys he would not destroy in 30 minutes. I bought the Orka stick to help with teething and it proved to be very durable and became his favorite toy. He loves the new one just as much enthusiasm. boomer doesn't like the rope so I removed it.

Disappointment
Color: Stick
Disappointment, I have bought these for several of my labs as pups in the past, The center material used to be fleece with knots at ends and difficult To pull through the rubber chew . This toy now has like cotton and polyester strings through the toy tied into knots it easily to chews a part with the dogs, sticks in their teeth and makes a mess, Also easily pulls right through out of the rubber chew toy . After less than one day I ended up throwing away this knotted ball of string and I threaded some fleece strips through the toy and made large nots at the ends, it is now holding up quite well To a pretty aggressive puppy chewer. But I pretty much had to make my own toy

Good for adult & puppy.
We have a one year old English Mastiff female & a 3 month old English Mastiff male puppy. They both love this toy. I have to say Pet Stages won me over after my mother gave me a few of their toys. I'm not a fan of bright colors, but the dogs just these things. All the toys seem to be designed & tested to keep them interested. My dogs love trying to pull the ropes out, chewing the blue firm but soft enough tube and playing tug-o-war with it.

One of my puppies favorite toys!
Color: Stick
My very large puppy loves all of toys Petstages makes out of the Orka line. She is what I consider a heavy chewer and the (stick, frisbie, tire) are still in great shape after 5 months. The only issue with this stick, is that the rope pulls out of the stick way to easily. But even with that she continues to carry it around and chew on it.
