Synopsis "Magallanes (in Spanish)"

Algunas vidas hacen empalidecer cualquier novela de aventuras. Sabedor de esto, Stefan Zweig quiso investigar y narrar la de Fernando de Magallanes. Aquel marino portugués, impenetrable y con escaso don de gentes, logró sin embargo convencer a la Corona española de que podía sortear América y alcanzar las Indias por el este. Lo animaban vagos rumores sobre un paso al sur del continente americano. En 1518, cinco naves partieron de Sevilla rumbo a lo desconocido. La furia de los elementos, el hambre, el frío y los motines marcaron la epopeya. El propio Magallanes moriría a manos de los nativos en una escena que recuerda al final del coronel Custer. Esta cuidada edición se completa con las ilustraciones de Pascual Adolfo López Salueña, tan elegantes como evocadoras.

(Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brazil, 1942) a very popular writer, both as an essayist and biographer as well as a novelist, he was one of the most versatile writers of the first half of the 20th century. His narrative ability, skill, and delicacy in describing feelings and the elegance of his style make him a fascinating storyteller. He was associated with the great authors of his time: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Tagore, among others. After several decades in which his works were inexplicably ignored, Zweig has been rediscovered and currently enjoys the prestige and popularity that literary justice demanded.
