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.

In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. 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.»
