Summary

Un combate naval que cambió el destino del mundo
 
Trafalgar 1805: Habrás estado allí. En vísperas del bicentenario de la batalla de Trafalgar, Alfaguara pidió a Arturo Pérez-Reverte un relato sobre su particular visión del combate naval más famoso de la historia, que enfrentó a la armada combinada hispano-francesa con la británica, mandada por el almirante Nelson, en las aguas españolas del cabo Trafalgar. La combinación de rigor histórico y acción espectacular, unida a la habilidad narrativa del autor, convierten estas páginas en una apasionante pieza clave para comprender la trágica jornada de aquel 21 de octubre de 1805 que cambió la historia de Europa y del mundo. La guerra y el mar, el coraje y la cobardía, el destino y la memoria histórica, en definitiva, las distintas batallas a las que nos enfrenta la vida son el paisaje por el que navega Cabo Trafalgar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A naval battle that changed the fate of the world.

Trafalgar, 1805. You would’ve been there. On the bicentennial of the battle of Trafalgar, Alfaguara asked Arturo Pérez-Reverte for a story on his particular vision of the most famous naval battle in history, one who met the combined forces of the Spanish and French armadas against the British, commandeered by Admiral Nelson, right on Spanish waters, near Cape Trafalgar. The combination of historical rigor and spectacular action, together with the author’s narrative skills, turns these pages into one intense vital clue to understand the tragic morn of that 21 of October, 1805, that changed the history of Europe and the world. War and the sea, courage and cowardice, fate and historical memory—ultimately, the different battles we face in life are the very landscape Cape of Trafalgar sales on.
