Zorro : a novel / Isabel Allende ; translated from the Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden. -- New York : Perennial; HarperCollins, 2005

Born in southern California late in the eighteenth century, Diego de la Vega is a child of two worlds. His father is an aristocratic Spanish military man turned landowner; his mother, a Shorshone warrior. At the age of sixteen, Diego is sent to Spain, a country chafing under the corruption of Napoleonic rule. He soon joins La Justicia, a secret underground resistance movement devoted to helping the powerless and the poor. Between the New World and the Old, the persona of Zorro is formed, a great hero is born, and the legend begins. After many adventures Diego de la Vega, a.k.a Zorro, returns to America to claim the hacienda on wich he was raised and to seek justice for all who cannot fight for it themselves.
