This stunning graphic history tells the story of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, a descendant of the last Inca rulers. After participating in his half-brother's massive rebellion that stretched across Peru from 1780 to 1783, Juan Bautista spent forty years imprisoned by the Spanish, on an "odyssey" that took him from Cusco to Lima to Rio de Janeiro to Cádiz to Ceuta, the African presidio, and back to South America.
