Cabo Trafalgar
by Arturo Pérez-ReverteUn 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. La críticaha dicho...«El autor ha procedido con su probada habilidad en la dosificación y distribución de la copiosa documentación histórica y técnica, que produce sus mejores frutos en la descripción de los navíos y la evolución de los mismos en el transcurso de la batalla...»Ángel Basanta, El Cultural «Aquí los personajes que invoca Pérez-Reverte fueron alguna vez de carne y hueso, aunque sus méritos y sus errores los hayan convertido, con la perspectiva que da el tiempo, en figuras fronterizas entre la leyenda y la realidad implacable: son formidables, trágicas, heróicas, brillantes, desdichadas...»Luis Domingo, ABC
Cabo de Gata: A Novel
by Eugen RugeA witty, philosophical novel by the author of the internationally bestselling In Times of Fading LightSometimes a cat comes into your life when you least expect it.An unnamed writer finds himself in Cabo de Gata, a sleepy, worn-down Andalusian fishing village. He's left behind his life in Berlin, which it turns out wasn't much--an ex-girlfriend, a neighborhood that had become too trendy for his taste. Surrounded by a desolate landscape that is scoured by surprisingly cold winds (not at all what he expected of southern Spain), he faces his daily failures: to connect with the innkeeper or any of the townsfolk, who all seem to be hiding something; to learn Spanish; to keep warm; to write. At last he succeeds in making an unlikely connection with one of the village's many feral cats. Does the cat have a message for him? And will their tenuous relationship be enough to turn his life around?With sharp intelligence and wry humor, Eugen Ruge's Cabo de Gata proposes the biggest questions and illustrates how achieving happiness sometimes means giving oneself up to the foreign and the unknown.
