""Francisco Moyen: Or The Inquisition As It Was In South America"" is a historical novel written by Benjamin Vicuna Mackenna and published in 1869. The book tells the story of Francisco Moyen, a young man who is falsely accused of heresy by the Spanish Inquisition in South America during the 18th century. Moyen is tortured and put on trial, but he refuses to confess to crimes he did not commit. The novel explores the brutality and corruption of the Inquisition, as well as the courage and resilience of those who were persecuted by it. Through Moyen's story, Mackenna sheds light on the political and religious conflicts that shaped South American history, and raises important questions about justice, freedom, and morality.
