JAVIER REVERTE
DIOS EL DIABLO Y LA AVENTURA
Desde la amenidad el rigor y la pasión Javier Reverte nos dibuja el perfil del misionero jesuita Pedro Páez enmarcado en su tiempo: la España de los Austrias en pleno periodo de hegemonía política. Con este libro el escritor y viajero Javier Reverte regresa a su territorio favorito: África. Pero esta vez no lo hace para contarnos sus andanzas sino para narrar la vida del misionero jesuita Pedro Páez nacido en un pueblo de Madrid en el siglo XVI y primer europeo que alcanzó a ver las fuentes del Nilo Azul en Etiopía. Pedro Páez gran desconocido para el público español e incluso para muchos historiadores fue un hombre de cualidades excepcionales: políglota hombre de acción intelectual y arquitecto convirtió a dos emperadores etíopes a la fe de Roma recorrió antes que ningún otro europeo los territorios del sur del Yemen levantó un palacio en piedra de dos plantas a orillas del lago Tana y dejó escrito en portugués un imponente libro -no traducido al castellano- de carácter científico sobre Etiopía. Desde la amenidad el rigor y la pasión Javier Reverte nos dibuja el perfil de Páez enmarcado en su tiempo: la España de los Austrias en pleno periodo de hegemonía política. También nos habla de los azarosos viajes de los navegantes portugueses por el océano Índico de la fundación y las misiones de la Compañía de Jesús y del África desconocida y remota de los siglos XVI y XVII.
