Soledad de Un Marino, La [Spanish]

By Jorge Cerdá Crespo

In 1689, Don Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta was born, destined to become one of the most famous sailors of the Spanish Armada. This work reconstructs the decisive confrontation of the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1748), the siege of Cartagena de Indias. With absolute precision, reveals the most surprising and hitherto hidden details and nuances, and allows access to more diaries of the English siege, as well as other documents contemporary to this episode. These pages shed light on the decisive influence that all the protagonists had, the viceroy Sebastian Eslava and Blas de Lezo and the English admiral Edward Vernon and the Virginian Lawrence Washington.
