ZORRO, a Novel
(2005) by internationally acclaimed author Isabel Allende -
http://browseinside.harpercollins.com/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060778972
A swashbuckling adventure story that reveals for
the first time how Diego de la Vega became the masked man we all know
so well
Born in southern California late in the eighteenth
century, he is a
child of two worlds. Diego de la Vega's father is an aristocratic
Spanish military man turned landowner; his mother, a Shoshone warrior.
Diego learns from his maternal grandmother, White Owl, the ways of her
tribe while receiving from his father lessons in the art of fencing and
in cattle branding. It is here, during Diego's childhood, filled with
mischief and adventure, that he witnesses the brutal injustices dealt
Native Americans by European settlers and first feels the inner
conflict of his heritage.
At the age of sixteen, Diego is sent to Barcelona for
a European
education. In a country chafing under the corruption of Napoleonic
rule, Diego follows the example of his celebrated fencing master and
joins La Justicia, a secret underground resistance movement devoted to
helping the powerless and the poor. With this tumultuous period as a
backdrop, Diego falls in love, saves the persecuted, and confronts for
the first time a great rival who emerges from the world of privilege.
Between California and Barcelona, the New World and
the Old, the
persona of Zorro is formed, a great hero is born, and the legend
begins. After many adventures -- duels at dawn, fierce battles with
pirates at sea, and impossible rescues -- Diego de la Vega, a.k.a.
Zorro, returns to America to reclaim the hacienda on which he was
raised and to seek justice for all who cannot fight for it themselves.
Young
Zorro: The Iron Brand (2006) by award winning author Jan
Adkins -
http://www.harpercollins.com/search/index.aspx?kw=Jan%20Adkins
Sandwiched between the ocean and the mountains
surrounding the Pueblo
de Los Angeles, wealthy Spanish caballeros live side by side with
Native Americans. One boy with both Spanish and Indian blood belongs to
both worlds. He is Diego de la Vega, who will one day wear the mask of
Zorro.
As a boy Diego is more concerned with riding horses
and making
mischief with his best friend, Bernardo, than about fighting injustice.
But when men start disappearing from the pueblo of Los Angeles and
cattle are missing from Diego's father's rancho, Diego and Bernardo
encounter an injustice so wicked that they must take action.
Inspired by Isabel Allende's novel Zorro,
which reveals how
Diego de la Vega became the legendary masked hero, Young Zorro: The
Iron Brand introduces readers to a land of vaqueros and kidnappers
-- an exciting world in which a young hero is formed.
First introduced in 1919, the legend of Zorro, "the
fox," swiftly
grew into a phenomenon. A hero of Spanish California with a dual
identity, Zorro has vanquished evildoers and conquered hearts in books,
movies, and television series around the world. Most recently the Zorro
tale has been brought to life by Antonio Banderas and Catherine
Zeta-Jones in the 1998 major motion picture The Mask of Zorro
and its 2005 sequel, The Legend of Zorro.
