内容简介:
From one of the greatest historians of the Spanish world, here
is a fresh and fascinating account of Spain’s early conquests in
the Americas. Hugh Thomas’s magisterial narrative of Spain in the
New World has all the characteristics of great historical
literature: amazing discoveries, ambition, greed, religious
fanaticism, court intrigue, and a battle for the soul of
humankind.
Hugh Thomas shows Spain at the dawn of the sixteenth century as a
world power on the brink of greatness. Her monarchs, Fernando and
Isabel, had retaken Granada from Islam, thereby completing
restoration of the entire Iberian peninsula to Catholic rule. Flush
with success, they agreed to sponsor an obscure Genoese sailor’s
plan to sail west to the Indies, where, legend purported, gold and
spices flowed as if they were rivers. For Spain and for the world,
this decision to send Christopher Columbus west was epochal—the
dividing line between the medieval and the modern.
Spain’s colonial adventures began inauspiciously: Columbus’s
meagerly funded expedition cost less than a Spanish princess’s
recent wedding. In spite of its small scale, it was a mission of
astounding scope: to claim for Spain all the wealth of the Indies.
The gold alone, thought Columbus, would fund a grand Crusade to
reunite Christendom with its holy city, Jerusalem.
The lofty aspirations of the first explorers died hard, as the
pursuit of wealth and glory competed with the pursuit of pious
impulses. The adventurers from Spain were also, of course, curious
about geographical mysteries, and they had a remarkable loyalty to
their country. But rather than bridging earth and heaven, Spain’s
many conquests bore a bitter fruit. In their search for gold,
Spaniards enslaved “Indians” from the Bahamas and the South
American mainland. The eloquent protests of Bartolomé de las Casas,
here much discussed, began almost immediately. Columbus and other
Spanish explorers—Cortés, Ponce de León, and Magellan among
them—created an empire for Spain of unsurpassed size and scope. But
the door was soon open for other powers, enemies of Spain, to stake
their claims.
Great men and women dominate these pages: cardinals and bishops,
priors and sailors, landowners and warriors, princes and priests,
noblemen and their determined wives.
Rivers of Gold is a great story brilliantly told. More
significant, it is an engrossing history with many profound—often
disturbing—echoes in the present.

“
Rivers of Gold
is history in the grand manner. Hugh
Thomas has written a vivid, dramatic and compelling narrative of
the Spanish Empire to world domination.”
—ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR., winner of the Pulitzer Prize
“No one writes better than Hugh Thomas on the heartbreaking clash
of civilizations that produced the Spanish Empire. This book is an
event in itself, full to the brim with knowledge, colour and deep
understanding.”
—ANN WROE, author of
The Perfect Prince and Pontius Pilate
“Hugh Thomas has now retold this remarkable story—or at
least the first thirty years of it—in a splendid volume, bold and
strong in its outlines, rich in fascinating details, punctuated by
well-chosen quotations from contemporaries and eyewitnesses, and
accompanied by many maps and excellent illustrations. It is an
ambitious project, magnificently carried out.”
—PAUL JOHNSON
