Terra Nostra Signed First Edition Reference

Terra Nostra (Joaquín Mortiz, Mexico City, 1975; English: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1976, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden) is Fuentes’s most ambitious work — an 800-page novel that encompasses the building of El Escorial, the conquest of the Americas, and the apocalyptic destruction of Paris in 1999, blending historical figures, mythological beings, and fictional characters in a hallucinatory panorama of five centuries of Hispanic civilization.
