Winner of the 1995 Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Prize, Assault on Paradise vividly depicts how the Conquistadores and the Church invaded Central America, impoverishing one world to enrich another.
In a prize-winning novel of fast-paced, bawdy, swash-buckling adventure in Central America of the early 1700s, Costa Rican novelist Tatiana Lobo excoriates the black legacy of Conquistadores and church. With cinematographic flair, she counterpoints the picaresque against a reverent poetic re-creation of Mayan mythology, the mystical values of which the natives seek to use to drive out the invaders from their Popul Vuh world.
