A signal victory por David Stacton

I enjoy the prose of David Stacton. I also enjoy his search for characters who do not quite stand in the centre of the stage. Prior to the invasion of Mexico by Cortez in 1519, there were a few shipwrecks involving Spanish ships on the Yucatan coast. Stacton imagines a survivor of such a wreck, his integration into Maya society, and his reaction to the Cortez expedition of 1522. There is a dreamlike quality to the writing but the message is clear. Sixteenth century Spain was not a society that left this man with a drive to expand his Spanish experience to a world wide empire. if you can still find a readable copy, do enjoy this book.… (más)

The Judges of the Secret Court: A Novel About John… por David Stacton

I enjoy David Stacton's prose still. The epigram count is high, and, as I recall from my early reading of "The Day Lincoln Was Shot", the book seemed competently researched. So give this very introverted portrait of Booth a read.

The world on the last day; the sack of Cons… por David Stacton

A easily readable, but not terrifically memorable, account of the siege and fall of the city. It seems well researched, but is lacking in footnotes and bibliography.

Segaki por David Stacton

A dreamlike book, where little happens. A Zen master of some fame, goes to visit his brother, a famous Samurai. A civil war is brewing, but the book has a great deal to do with snails, and a woman known to both men.
