Basada en hechos reales, Badaq es una fábula moral exquisitamente narrada en la que un animal toma la palabra para denunciar la codicia de los humanos, el fanatismo religioso y la destrucción de la naturaleza por parte del hombre.

1583. Una badaq -o rinoceronte indonesio- pace tranquilamente en la isla de Pawu. Cuando llega un galeón castellano, el animal es testigo de las relaciones entre colonizadores e indígenas y se convierte en moneda de cambio entre ellos. La llevan hasta Madrid, donde su vida correrá peligro si no consigue escapar de un destino sin sentido. A su alrededor, se teje una trama de intereses y corruptelas entre políticos sin escrúpulos, libertinos codiciosos y desertores imperiales justo cuando el mayor imperio de la cristiandad está entrando en decadencia.

En su fascinante nueva novela, Carlos Bardem ha construido con destreza y precisión un minucioso fresco histórico que refleja el gobierno depredador de los imperios español y portugués, la peligrosidad de la Inquisición y los graves abusos de la colonización.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Based on a true story, Badaq is an exquisitely narrated moral fable in which an animal speaks out against the greed of humanity, religious fanatism, and the destruction of nature by human hands.

1583. A badak, or rhinoceros in Indonesia, is quietly grazing in the Island of Pawu. When a Castilian galleon arrives, the animal witnesses the relationship between the settlers and the indigenous people, and becomes a bargaining chip for them. She is taken to Madrid, where her life will be in danger if she doesn't manage to escape a senseless fate. Around her, a web of interests and corruption weaves among unscrupulous politicians, greedy libertines, and imperial deserters, at a time when the greatest empire in all Christendom begins to decline.

In his fascinating new novel, Carlos Barden skillfully and accurately creates a detailed historical fresco to reflect the predatory government of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, the dangers of the Inquisition, and the serious abuse of colonization.

Clark's Wallabee's are the best shoes ever made!
I was looking for a new pair of shoes, after one of my Clarks casual shoes (made in india) literally split in half. It only had 8 months of use! I was so angry, so much so that as a loyal Clark's customer I vowed to move on to another brand of shoe. So I began my search, and search, and search... I just couldn't find any pair of shoe that exited me as much as Clark's did. I began to reminisce on my first pair of Clark's that started it all. The Wallabees. The quality in craftsmanship, the nice thick leather, the stitching, and the indestructible weird looking jelly soles. These things could take a hit. I mean I wore them consistently for two years and they just wouldn't budge. I eventually needed something different, so I put them in the closet; only to come out when ever a pair of shoe wore out and I needed a something while I made another purchase. After about 2 years of that I realize I shouldn't be buying more shoes I should be wearing my wallabees. So I wore them for several more years until I finally decided its was time to part... What a mistake. Here I had a pair a shoes that lasted me almost a decade I parted away for no real good reason. It took me many more years of wearing other Clark's and other brands to come to this realization. The Wallabee's are the best shoes ever made! I broke my vow of not buying Clark's after that indian made piece of crap, and decided to buy these. To my surprise the wallabee's are no longer made in England or Ireland, but instead made in China! I was sceptical as to how great the quality may be. I mean I lost faith in Clark's after all. But after careful inspection, these shoe's look, smell, and feel just like the originals. The craftsmanship looks the same as well (a little more modern support). I did some research and turns out China has one of Clark's best shoe factory in the world. I can not judge these shoes by where is was made, but how they fare out with the old ones. So far I'm very very happy! I will wear these and put it to the test of time, and see if they will go for almost a decade as my originals did. At this point they once again take their place as my number one favorite pair of shoes.

Love them!
Size: 7, Color: Maple Suede
These are a classic! Amazing materials and product. If you have never owned a pair, be aware that the soles will get dirty quickly and visibly noticeable. I would say true to size in what you were in sneakers.
