Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Rajah Versus Conquistador is meticulously researched, populated by vivid characters, and propelled by suspenseful storytelling. Kahlil Corazo has taken a bold step by engaging in a new, self-reflexive process of literary creation, one that may prove to be generative as we debate the question of authorship in the age of AI.'- Caroline S. Hau, author of Necessary Fictions: Philippine Literature and the Nation, 1946-1980 and Tiempo Muerto: A Novel A King's Gambit. A Conqueror's Ambition. A Battle That Will Shape a Nation.Cebu, 1521. At the center of the Visayan seas, Rajah Humabon rules through ritual, trade, and blood. When foreign ships arrive bearing steel, gunpowder, and the cross of an unfamiliar God, he sees not just a threat-but a once-in-a-generation opportunity.Led by the relentless Ferdinand Magellan, the Castilian fleet promises power and divine favor. But in Sugbo, every alliance is a wager, every ritual a weapon, and every oath a potential betrayal.As Humabon gambles for survival and dominion, the feared warrior Lapulapu emerges to challenge both king and invader. What begins as diplomacy becomes sacred deception. What ends in massacre is remembered as myth.Rajah Versus Conquistador is a speculative epic of religion, sacrifice, and statecraft-told in two voices: the psychospiritual transformation of a Southeast Asian strongman, and the theological unraveling of a crusading knight.

He grew up in Pari-an, Cebu, the heart of what was once Rajah Humabon's domain and where this novel takes place. His scholarly work lies in the intersection of the figure of the Southeast Asian Orang Besar (Big Man) and René Girard's scapegoat mechanism. Rajah Versus Conquistador is Kahlil's debut novel.…
