A la hazaña, estoy segura, le hemos provocado algún que otro orgasmo.

A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies is the story of the Spanish Dominican priest Bartolome de las Casas, who came to the Americas in the 16th century.

In August of 1588, a Spanish fleet of 130 ships departed from La Coruña under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia. Its purpose was to rendezvous with the Spanish army at the Dutch port of Sluys. At this point, the fleet was to act as a screen while the Spanish army was shuttled across the English Channel in barges. But there was one problem: the English fleet. Though much smaller than the Spanish fleet, it was a demonstrably superior fighting force of sailors, ships, naval technology, and guns.

Escucha este relato vibrante, tenso y pormenorizado que empieza como una novela policíaca y acaba leyéndose como una novela de terror.

Before Don Quixote rode toward the windmills, Spain itself was already changing. This book is not a retelling of Cervantes’ novel. It is a quiet journey into the world that made such a story possible. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Spain stood at the edge of transformation. The age of knights and unquestioned honor was fading. Printing presses were spreading stories into ordinary homes. Villages still woke before dawn, horses still carried dust along long roads, and faith shaped daily life—but beneath the surface, something irreversible was happening.

Antonio Pérez Henares, con gran verosimilitud, amenidad y rigor, como es habitual en sus novelas, glosa la vida de los juglares que vivieron y transmitieron las andanzas, aventuras y desventuras del guerrero más famoso de su época: Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, el Cid. La Edad Media era un tiempo de caballeros, reyes, damas, castellanos, comerciantes, campesinos, prostitutas, mercenarios, ladrones... y también de juglares, que fueron testigos y transmisores de batallas, romances, banquetes y todo aquello que llenaba el medievo de luz, color y música.

Resultado de um longo trabalho de dez anos de pesquisa, 1808 narra a chegada da família real ao Rio de Janeiro, acossada pelas tropas do imperador francês Napoleão Bonaparte. Nunca algo semelhante havia acontecido na história de Portugal ou de qualquer outro país europeu. Em tempos de guerra, reis e rainhas haviam sido destronados ou obrigados a se refugiar em territórios alheios, mas nenhum deles foi tão longe quanto o príncipe regente Dom João VI, forçado a cruzar um oceano com toda a família real portuguesa para viver e reinar do outro lado do mundo.

Em 1822, Laurentino Gomes compara diferentes relatos sobre o dia 7 de Setembro e a proclamação da independência. A verdade é que esse fatídico dia foi bem menos épico do que a pintura “Independência ou Morte”, de Pedro Américo, nos mostra. Mais do que desmistificar o grito às margens do Ipiranga, o escritor analisa como Dom Pedro conseguiu, apesar de todas as dificuldades, fazer do Brasil uma nação na sequência das mudanças provocadas pela fuga da família real portuguesa em 1808.

But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante más de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos irónico, pero siempre único, de nuestra accidentada historia a través de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, «divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atrás desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.»
