This book traces the origin of the legend of El Dorado and the various expeditions that set out to locate that mysterious land of untold wealth in South America. Motivated by both fanciful rumors of a golden city ruled by a man who coated himself daily with gold dust, and the more practical allure of a region abundant in cinnamon trees (a spice that was worth its weight in gold to Europeans), many conquistadors convinced themselves that another native empire awaited their conquest. These quests for fortune and glory would lead to an encounter with fierce female warriors who were believed to be the Amazons of ancient Greek lore, and the discovery of the mighty river later named for the legendary Amazon tribe. The first half of this book details the lesser-known accounts of German interest in locating the wealth of a golden kingdom called Xerira and an elusive passage at Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo which supposedly led to the Pacific Ocean. The second section focuses on the various Spanish efforts to discover El Dorado, each of which was eventually doomed to despair, disappointment, and death.

Un pueblo del Sur en la España de 1960 acorralado entre el casticismo del Antiguo Régimen y el cosmopolitismo de la Década Prodigiosa. Los personajes del libro son los jóvenes que en febrero de 1956 se sublevaron por primera vez contra el statu quo implantado por la Guerra Civil. Los mismos que, veinticinco años más tarde, empuñaron las riendas de la España democrática. Fernando Sánchez Dragó es entonces un joven, pobre, feliz y discípulo de Hemingway, que acaba de separarse y llega a Torremolinos tan decidido a devorar el mundo. La Costa del Sol nacía entonces y, con ella, un nuevo estilo de vida que ya no existe pero cuyo aroma permanece. Allí conocerá a una mujer de diecinueve años que le recuerda a la Natalie Wood de Esplendor en la hierba y se enamorará perdidamente de ella. La corteja, se deja cortejar y así pasarán seis semanas de sol, sal, pitas, chanquetes, ginebra, romanticismo, rebeldía y amor sureño... Pero ella se resistirá a tener una relación con él debido al estado civil de quien con tanto ímpetu la requiere. Por ello, el veinteañero Dragó, se encerrará a escribir torrencialmente estas páginas, en sólo veintitrés días, con el objeto de conquistarla. El joven que un día fue todavía hoy persigue al autor con la máxima que rige su vida: «se querían, sabedlo». La destrucción o el amor. Eso, y mucho más, es Eldorado. «No es sólo una historia de amor. Es un daguerrotipo, un retrato de época, un álbum de fotos, una psicografía de mi generación, un testimonio de cómo era el mundo, de cómo era España, de cómo éramos, pensábamos y sentíamos las gentes y, sobre todo, los jóvenes de lo que no tardaría en llamarse, con razón, Década Prodigiosa.» Fernando Sánchez Dragó

El Dorado, by Baroness Orczy is a sequel book to the classic adventure tale, The Scarlet Pimpernel. It was first published in 1913. The novel is notable in that it is the partial basis for most of the film treatments of the original book. A French-language version, translated and adapted by Charlotte and Marie-Louise Desroyses, was also produced under the title La Capture du Mouron Rouge. As well as containing all the main characters from the first book, El Dorado introduces several new characters and features the Baron de Batz, who also turns up in Sir Percy Leads the Band and The Way of the Scarlet Pimpernel (Baron Jean de Batz is a genuine historical figure).

A journalist’s eyewitness account of the explosive 1849 California gold rush and his travels through Mexico. In 1849, a young, wide-eyed reporter from New York ventured West not to seek riches, but to report on the madness and exuberance of the California gold rush. Sent by Horace Greeley, a highly respected New-York Tribune editor, twenty-four-year-old Bayard Taylor traveled through Panama to reach his final destination, San Francisco, which he described as an “amphitheatre of fire” in the night, gleaming with the promise of gold and progress. In his enthralling and robust narrative, Bayard brings the reader into the wild, lush world of early California, reporting on the nearly overnight growth of townships and infrastructure after the gold rush. During his adventures, Bayard walked one hundred miles from San Francisco to Monterey, and later returned to New York via Mexico by foot, mule, and coach. Bayard describes the characters he met with an honest curiosity—heady gold miners who had once been doctors and lawyers, hospitable Mexicans from all classes of society, and even a highway robber who made off with his books. Eldorado, which borrows its title from the South American–Spanish legend of a hidden land of gold, is a magnificent tale about the birth of California from a deserted land to a modern city sprawl. At once an account of history and of one man’s thrilling adventures, Eldorado transports the reader to the beginning of an era, with all its gold, glitz, and glamour. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
