1492: Columbus does not discover America.
1531: The Incas invade Europe.
What the Incas lacked to resist the conquistadors: horses, iron, antibodies. In Civilizations, the Vikings brought them these. A few centuries later, Atahualpa landed in Charles V's Europe. He found a continent torn apart by religious and dynastic quarrels. But above all, he found oppressed, starving populations on the verge of uprising – allies.
This is the story of another globalization, one that, in essence, came incredibly close to prevailing and becoming reality.
The author's ironic wit and mimetic virtuosity shine through in this historical reversal. Le Monde des livres.
