A not exactly moral but extremely likeable vagabond, Don Pablo of Segovia, tells us like a picaresque novel his adventures in Spain of the Golden Age and in an America that was then still called the Indies. His wanderings will make him very poor and very rich, popular and despised, leading him from dungeons to palaces and from the peaks of the Cordillera to the meanders of the Amazon, to that mythical place that embodies all the dreams of the New World: El Dorado!

The masterful and expressive strokes of Blacksad creator Juanjo Guarnido add a wealth of detail to the incredible twists and turns devised by Alain Ayroles, centered on a cunning trickster inspired by the character of El Buscón in Francisco de Quevedo's picaresque novel. Set against the backdrop of colonialism in America, a virtuoso baroque epic about the Spanish Golden Age.

A 164-page hardcover edition, in a large size (25.5X35 cm) for a graphic novel that is hailed as one of the most emblematic works of the last decade. And as for the full title of the work? We have and say: Illusionary Indies Or The Second Part of the History of the Life of the Adventurer Don Pablo of Segovia, an Exemplary Wanderer and Idol of the Bandits; inspired by the first part, as narrated in his time by Don Francisco Gómez de Quevedo y Viejas, Knight of the Order of Saint James and Lord of Juan Abad.
