This collection of satirical stories uses the life of Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez as a theme upon which to improvise imaginary, irreverant encounters between Cortez and other historical figures, including Erasmus, Martin Luther, and Cervantes. The author's playful use of puns, witty anachronisms, and cleverly featured historical revalations give this book a humorous punch.
