What has changed since the medieval crusades? Almost nothing. Fear, blood and death are still the price to pay for the right to think and doubt. Vanity, complacency and intolerance - that’s all that Catholic officials in the Latin American banana republic are ready to teach their flock. The cardinal is tormented by demons and remorse. Priests in the outback carry shotguns. The black jaguars, guardians of the Cochadebajos de los Gatos, are cast out as evil spirits. The city is threatened by an invasion of brutal crusaders. The gods do not want to quarrel with each other and therefore remain silent. Cats, ghosts and laughter - the townspeople have nothing more to count on. “The Restless Son of Cardinal Guzman” is the final part of the magical trilogy of Louis de Bernieres. For the first time in Russian and more relevant than ever.
