Synopsis
The dashing revolutionary wonder known as Zorro, a longtime legend and a staple of 1950s television, is brought to literary life in Isabel Allende's tale. Born Diego de la Vega, Zorro (which means "fox" in Spanish) resolves early in his life to take the side of the indigenous people in his native California, and to defend them to the death against the European invaders. His adventures as he pursues this goal involve a solid Spanish education that only intensifies his resolve, a secret society dedicated to ending oppression, a terrifying capture by pirates, and a duel to the death.

Industry Reviews
"Allende's lively retelling of the Zorro legend reads as effortlessly as the hero himself might slice his trademark "Z" on the wall with a flash of his sword....Allende's latest page-turner explodes with vivid characterization and high-speed storytelling." [starred review]
(02/28/2005)

"[ZORRO is] beautiful and disturbing and profound, and anyone who tells you it isn't is clearly immune to whatever part of the normal human being thrills to feats of derring-do, and has clearly forgotten also what it's like to fashion a makeshift cape from an old shirt, to use a tie as a cummerbund, a stick as a sword, and to recreate scenes from a favourite comic, film or and old black-and-white TV series. They're probably a literary critic."
