Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In a unique first-person monologue, the story reimagines Christopher Columbus's voyage through the eyes of Johan Padan, a reluctant crew member tasked with cleaning pig stalls. His unexpected journey leads him to be adopted by a Native American tribe, where he aids them against the conquistadors. This vivid retelling blends subversive comedy with linguistic play, creating an alternate history that challenges traditional narratives about race, gender, and the interplay of history and humor.
