Description:

Young Ursua embarks in a voyage to America in search of fortune and glory. He arrives in Peru, where Pizarro's uprising, the general upheaval and the riches now in hands of other Spaniards, make him question his plans to stay. He receives an unexpected letter from his uncle, the judge of Nueva Granada, inviting him to Cartagena, where his adventures, fortunes, and misfortunes begin. With profound understanding and historical knowledge, Ospina gives us a dramatic testimony of the Spanish conquest of America. Description in Spanish: Con solo quince anos de edad, Ursua se embarca hacia America en busca de fortuna y de gloria, llega primero a Peru donde la insurreccion de Pizarro, la confusion general y un tesoro que ya se encuentra en manos de otros espanoles, le hacen dudar de continuar en esas tierras. Sin embargo, estando alli una carta de un tio le devuelve la esperanza; Miguel Diaz de Armendariz, nombrado juez de la Nueva Granada, invita a Ursua a Cartagena. El joven acude en el acto y a partir de alli se puede decir que comienzan sus aventuras y desventuras en el Nuevo Mundo. Guerras sangrientas y crueles contra indigenas y negros libertos, enganos y traiciones, un amor por una india y un hijo con una blanca al que jamas conocio, y atravesando todo esto, constante, como grabado sobre piedra, la leyenda de El Dorado, la maxima quimera de todas sus ambiciones.
