Trivia:
The huge figure of a naked man wielding a club which is created by the Indian sorcerer is an accurate representation of the ancient Celtic chalk carving known as the Cerne Abbas Giant, which is 60 metres in height and is located on a hillside overlooking the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. moreFAQ

The first review is right-on. Read the original text and one comes away with a different story. The actual name of the book is "La Relation", meaning The Relation and is but a report to the King of Spain. Hunger was so much a part of the story, which is represented well, but more interesting is probably the concept that a mixed racial group of people, three Catholics and and African, were interacting with the locals and they were in some respects taken in. I wonder more about the relation between these four surviving members. I just think that it is ironic, considering present day politics, the make up of the Cabeza de Vaca party.
