Títulos em Aventuras Marítimas

Conan Doyle não foi apenas o criador do genial detetive Sherlock Holmes. Em Contos de piratas , ele deixa o cenário das ruas de Londres para embarcar na vida em alto-mar, povoada de piratas sanguinários e reais, e de capitães corajosos o suficiente para enfrentá-los. Contos de piratas foi lançado originalmente em 1922, e a coletânea reúne histórias editadas para as revistas de ficção e entretenimento da época. As histórias, narradas com um realismo quase jornalístico, são inspiradas em piratas de verdade e desmistificam o romantismo associado à pirataria pela arte e cultura ocidentais.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre, Luis Alejandro Velasco, que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro Nobel de Literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista y los transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor.

E allo stesso tempo racconta il Mediterraneo di oggi, le sue isole e i suoi porti, i suoi uccelli migratori e i cavi sottomarini che lo attraversano, i suoi luoghi piú inaccessibili, come basi militari abbandonate o piattaforme petrolifere.
