A. Kofman's work Under the Patronage of Santiago is the first book in Russian to reconstruct the history of the Spanish conquest of America. This book tries to answer the question of how the Spanish were able in such a short time and with such a small force to explore the vast territories of the two continents and conquer highly developed peoples. The conquistadors themselves attributed this miracle to the patronage of Santiago (St. James), who helped the Spaniards in their centuries-long war with the Moors. The author tried to detach himself from preconceived interpretations, to create an objective and multidimensional image of the Spanish conquistador, to show the originality of the spiritual image of the brightest representatives of the era of the Great Discovery, people born at the crossroads of time, space and culture. The book is created in the biographical genre, and since the fates of the conquistadors resemble adventure novels, their biographies read easily and fascinating. A. Kofman's book is based on extensive historical data and relies on many authoritative sources. At the same time, it is written in lively language, richly illustrated with ancient maps, engravings and drawings from Indian manuscripts and is intended for the widest range of readers, from professional researchers of Conquista history to history buffs and simply inquisitive people.
