"I have always been fascinated by the figure of the 'indians', but there is a lot of myth surrounding them," explains the novelist, screenwriter and playwright Pere Anglas (Mataró, 1966), who has won the Nèstor Luján historical novel prize with El sastre de Barcelona (Columna). Historiography has already taken care of dismantling the myth of impoverished men who traveled to Cuba and Puerto Rico and returned very rich thanks to their intelligence and effort. There was also the exploitation of slave labor, and one of the men who profited most from it was Antonio López.
