Costras

En estas páginas (tomadas del libro Pasajeros de indias publicado por el FCE en 1999) se muestran las características de los navíos y las peripecias y tribulaciones que representaban los viajes trasatlánticos de Europa a América en el siglo XVI. Al conocer de cerca los barcos, las tripulaciones, las inclemencias y los tiempos de aquellas travesías, conoceremos mejor las circunstancias reales en las que se escribió nuestra historia.

Escrito por un oidor de Manila que haba pasado ocho aos en la regin, describe los intentos de Espaa por colonizar el archipilago, por llevar el cristianismo a Oriente y dominar los trficos de la especiera, en la poca de mayor expansin de las ambiciones espaolas en las Molucas. Junto con el texto se incluye un estudio crtico elaborado por la doctora Francisca Perujo.
