Gustave Aimard Knihy

Autor nás oboznamuje s Mexikom, aké bolo v polovici minulého storočia, keď sa schyľovalo k velkému povstaniu Indiánov. Pevná Ruka, záhadný chrabrý jazdec, ktorého náhoda vždy privedie ta, kde sa niekto ocitol v smrteľnom nebezpečenstve, je síce beloch, ale žije medzi Indiánmi a dokonca patrí kvodcom pripravovanej vzbury. Prečo sa tak veľmi zaujíma o španielsku rodinu z Haciendy del Toro, prečo ju chráni pred pohromami, ktoré jej hrozia? Kto je to vlastne? Až posledné kapitoly románu vám odhalia zložitý osud tohto nezvyčajného hrdinu, s ktorým môžete prežiť veľa zaujímavých dobrodružstiev

Dobrodružný příběh odehrávající se v mexických prériích.

Dobrodružný román francouzského spisovatele (1818-1883), autora řady dobrodružných a námořních románů, uvádí do ovzduší americké prérie z konce třicátých let minulého století, kdy Indiáni bojují svůj "nekonečný a předem ztracený boj s bílými osídlenci". Napínavý děj, plný zápletek a překvapení, nelíčí Indiány jednostranně, ale tak, jací opravdu byli. Převyprávěná verze představuje proti originálu citlivé a promyšlené zkrácení.
