A Califórnia não foi fundada.
Ela foi interrompida.
No inÃcio do século XIX, nas fronteiras esquecidas do império mexicano, missões religiosas e administrações coloniais governam um território que não lhes pertence. Sob o nome de Deus e da razão, homens contam corpos, ajustam quotas e transformam vidas humanas em registros contábeis.
O Olho do Império é um romance histórico de precisão cirúrgica, narrado através de diários, relatórios e testemunhos Ãntimos. Um americano errante, uma mulher indÃgena, um frade atormentado pela fé, e funcionários de um sistema que confunde autoridade com legitimidade - todos observam, registram e justificam o mesmo mundo em colapso.
O livro não romantiza o Velho Oeste, nem oferece consolo fácil. Em vez disso, revela como impérios não caem de uma vez, mas se desfazem lentamente, enquanto continuam a funcionar - enquanto ainda acreditam que são eternos.
Inspirado em fontes históricas reais, O Olho do Império examina a ocupação mexicana da Califórnia, o sistema de neófitos, e o custo humano de uma ordem que se recusa a reconhecer a própria corrupção.
Este não é um romance sobre raça.
É um romance sobre humanidade.
Os povos indÃgenas não desaparecem.
Eles permanecem - enquanto os administradores mudam.
Para leitores de ficção histórica literária, história crÃtica das Américas, e narrativas que recusam mitos confortáveis.
