Thomas, Hugh. Rivers of Gold: The Rise of the Spanish Empire.
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, (2003). First Edition.
Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, map illus. endpapers, xix + 604 pp. Fine in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: In 1492 Colubus launched what became the most important series of events in history. He believed that China could be reached from Europe by sailing west. A quarter century later, Magellan, also sailing with a Spanish fleet, showed that to be true. Inspired by the hope of both riches and of converting native people to Christianity, the Spanish adventurers convinced themselves that an Earthly Paradise existed in the Caribbean and that the rivers flowed with gold. Hundreds set sail on the precarious journey across the Atlantic. These conquistadors took with them wheat, the horse, the guitar and the wheel as well as guns, malaria and black slaves. In return te Indies gave Europe the potato, the turkey and syphilis. Within thirty years, Spain had created an empire that made her the most envied nation in the world. In an epic history the prize-winning author, Hugh Thomas, brings the early years of Spain's imperial achievement vividly to life. Rivers of Gold captures the spirit of an ebullient age.
