El secreto de Cristóbal Colón
Overview
?Descubriremos apasionantes rutas, cartógrafos que hace más de quinientos años crearon mapas muy fieles de la geografía mundial (por imposible que parezca). Hay piratas, corsarios, tesoros escondidos, viajes secretos, conspiraciones, envidias? También entran a escena los templarios y sus enigmas.? (Web Qué leo ahora) ?Las diferentes teorías expuestas por el autor resultan bastante convincentes y dan la impresión de estar basadas en una esforzada investigación, lo que dota al texto de una gran solidez, nada parece descabellado ni inverosímil y sí muy interesante y bastante clarificador.? (Web Anika entre libros) Una vuelta de tuerca sobre la vida de Colón y las razones que le impulsaron a cruzar el Atlántico, una epopeya en la que se mezclan templarios, papas, reyes todopoderosos, corsarios y masones. Es un hecho contrastado que la Orden del Temple, los caballeros templarios, poseían una flota que podía competir de igual a igual con las flotas de Génova y de Pisa, de lo que pasó con esa flota no se sabe nada, a pesar de que no se confiscó ningún barco. Se conoce también que los templarios poseían un inmenso tesoro de plata y oro, del que se desconocía su procedencia y del que no se supo jamás su paradero ni incluso cuando se torturó a sus líderes y se destruyó la orden. ¿Pudiera ser que los templarios consiguieran su oro en América? ¿Es posible que Colón conociera las rutas y las cartografías de esos templarios y que las aprovechara para llegar a América prometiendo a los Reyes Católicos un tesoro similar? El secreto de Cristóbal Colón, apoyándose en datos históricos, señala que la historia del marinero quizás difiera un poco el relato oficial. David Hatcher basará su argumentación en datos, cuando menos, impactantes como una representación de una piña, un fruto exclusivamente americano, en una obra de arte de Pompeya u otros como los tintes hechos de cochinilla, que sólo se encontraba en América, de la ropa de unos exiliados de Roma. También apoyará su tesis el hecho de que el primer biógrafo de Colón, Pedro Mártir de Anglería, confesara a un amigo el origen mallorquín del navegante. Estos dos hechos avalarían la tesis de que América era un continente conocido ya en la época de Colón y que este podría haber conocido la ruta al Nuevo Mundo a través de las cartografías de los sefardíes de Mallorca. Pero además David Hatcher investigará qué pasó con la flota templaria y cómo pudo ser que fuera aprovechada por los masones anglosajones, algunos de ellos bucaneros, cuyo objetivo sería llegar a América para fundar una Nueva Jerusalén. Razones para comprar la obra: - El tema de los templarios es un tema de interés para el público y a este tema se suma el del descubrimiento de América sobre el que se han vertido ríos de tinta. - Además de los templarios y de Colón, que vertebran la obra, aparecen también papas, reyes, piratas, una secta musulmana de sicarios, piratas e incluso presidentes de los EEUU. - El prisma elegido por el autor es novedoso y polémico y pretende dar nueva luz a los aspectos más confusos y misteriosos de la vida de Colón. - El libro está escrito en clave novelesca pese a que el autor no renuncia ni un momento al rigor y contiene perfectamente la especulación. Una apasionante historia que repasa desde la antigüedad hasta la independencia de los EEUU y que bucea en la historia náutica, en la política y en la religiosa. Un relato rigurosamente histórico que despliega sin embargo una epopeya digna del mejor relato de aventuras.Description
