Sobre IBD

The Prince of India is an ambitious historical novel that blends fiction with real historical events surrounding the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The story revolves around a mysterious figure, the 'Prince of India,' who is revealed to be the legendary Wandering Jew. The novel explores themes of faith, immortality, revenge, and power struggles between Christian and Islamic forces. Wallace meticulously intertwines the personal ambitions of key characters with the larger geopolitical events leading to the siege of Constantinople, making it a richly layered narrative that delves into both spiritual and political conflicts.
