Offered in 0 more formatsTal como los alquimistas medievales se obsesionaron con la piedra filosofal, un sacamuelas sevillano, que llega hasta el virreinato peruano huyendo de la Inquisición, se afana en la búsqueda del gusano de los dientes que taladra las muelas y anida en las encías, precipitando la corrupción del cuerpo y flagelando a los cristianos con una espina del dolor de la Pasión, porque el imperio español de los siglos XVI y XVII era también el imperio del dolor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn the same manner as alchemists obsessed over the philosopher’s stone, a tooth puller from Seville reaches the Peruvian viceroyalty in search of the worm that makes its home in people’s mouth to hasten human corruption. The Spanish Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries is the backdrop for this novel that recounts the culture and knowledge of the Golden Age; an era of voyages and discoveries, of madness and superstition.
