This is the story of one amazing character, the candid and picaresque Fray Servando, a Latin American hero who finds himself fighting against the Spanish Inquisition during the time of the Mexican independence wars. The novel is a dialogue between fiction and history, fantasy and magic, where some events are told from several perspectives. A whimsical, amazing read.
