The definitive history of the Spanish Armada, lavishly illustrated and fully revised “Will surely become the definitive account.”—Stephen Brumwell, Wall Street Journal In July 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Corunna to conquer England. Three weeks later an English fireship attack in the Channel—and then a fierce naval battle—foiled the planned invasion. Many myths still surround these events. The genius of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain’s efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter? Drawing on archives from around the world, Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker also deploy vital new evidence from Armada shipwrecks off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. Their gripping, beautifully illustrated account provides a fresh understanding of how the rival fleets came into being; how they looked, sounded, and smelled; and what happened when they finally clashed. Looking beyond the events of 1588 to the complex politics which made war between England and Spain inevitable, and at the political and dynastic aftermath, Armada deconstructs the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed.

Kurustán es uno de los sitios más hermosos que puedan recordarse en Toril, el planeta más azul del universo. Pero en ese apacible reino ha ocurrido una desgracia de grandes proporciones: unos seres malignos han robado las Llaves de la Historia y el Destino de su recinto sagrado. Por cada día que las llaves no estén resguardadas, Kurustán perderá 10 años de memoria y 10 años de porvenir. Al mismo tiempo, la princesa Galia de Angia ha sido secuestrada. Este libro narra el peligroso viaje, pleno de aventuras, que debe emprender el príncipe Abis, junto con un selecto grupo de guerreros kurus, para recuperar la historia y el destino de su reino, así como rescatar a la bella Galia. Con la sola ayuda de un mapa, la inspiración de sus ancestros, la fe en sus dioses y la trascendencia de su misión, tendrán que enfrentar a las numerosas fuerzas de la oscuridad mientras recorren sitios inhóspitos, en los que encontrarán peligros constantes. Narrado con sencillez por el autor, y enriquecido por bellas ilustraciones y mapas, Las Llaves Sagradas de Kurustán es una invitación a mirar a lo grande, como hacen los niños, para descubrir mundos fantásticos que habitan dentro de nosotros. Es, asimismo, un recordatorio de que los humanos debemos vivir las odiseas necesarias con el fin de construir una gran comunidad pacífica, próspera, justa y armónica. Hay que empezar por imaginarlo para volverlo real.

Four hundred years after his death, Philip II remains one of the most controversial figures in history, admired and reviled in equal measure. He is a figure of global importance, the first ruler on whose territories the sun never set. He led Europe in its defence against the seemingly irresistable power of the Ottoman Empire and many of the nations of Western Europe were forged in part by their responses to his ambitions - Portugal was conquered and most of Italy was controlled by him, while the Low Countries, England and France fought long and bitter wars against him. Philip proclaimed himself the leader of Catholic Europe but quarrelled incessantly with the popes of the Counter-Reformation. In consolidating his monarchy in Spain, Philip used the arts as a political tool; Titian and Palestrina did some of their greatest work for him. This new study traces the development of Philip II and of a kingship that lay at the heart of European political, religious and cultural evolution. It looks in detail at the ministers who worked with this most demanding of kings and at the government that evolved during his reign. It deals also with the pressures of a tortured private life and explores the paradox of a man who as a young ruler was deeply prudent but who became extraordinarily aggressive in his old age and who by his successes and failures - both of them on an epic scale - re-shaped the world in which he lived.

Throughout Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of the nation: its navy. N. A. M. Rodger's definitive account reveals how the political and social progress of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength - and weakness - of its sea power, from the desperate early campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada. Covering policy, strategy, ships, recruitment and weapons, this is a superb tapestry of nearly 1,000 years of maritime history. 'No other historian has examined the subject in anything like the detail found here. The result is an outstanding example of narrative history' Barry Unsworth, Sunday Telegraph

Cuando el 21 de julio de 1588 el gran proyecto naval de Felipe II zarpó de A Coruña para invadir Inglaterra con una flota de 130 navíos y 30.000 hombres, la Armada Invencible inició su singladura hacia la leyenda. Pero, ¿dónde encontró el yunque donde forjó su funesto destino? En la hermosa y feraz costa occidental de Irlanda. Un total de 24 barcos naufragaron y 6.000 hombres perdieron la vida en sus costas.Hoy, cuatro siglos después de esa tragedia marítima y humana, el halo mí-tico de la Invencible sigue perviviendo en la Isla Esmeralda, grabado a fuego en su toponimia: desde las rocas basálticas de la Calzada del Gigante, en el Ulster, hasta la península de Dingle, en el sureño Kerry. Una huella que también late en la memoria de las increíbles aventuras de náufragos como el capitán Francisco de Cuéllar, en el cabello y los ojos oscuros de los black Irish, en el oro español expuesto en los museos de la isla…Descubrir los paisajes, los personajes y las historias que forjaron esa leyenda es el horizonte de este libro, un viaje tintado de aventura, emoción y recuerdo.

La investigación más ardua que se ha realizado sobre los prisioneros de la Armada Invencible. Un libro esencial para comprender uno de los episodios más importantes de la historia de España. «Liberados, fugados o asesinados fríamente, los vestigios documentales nos permitirán poner nombre a muchos de estos personajes y conocer el calvario al que fueron sometidos para así mantener vivos su memoria y su legado». ¿Qué tuvo que pasar entre España e Inglaterra para que se declarase una guerra entre ambas naciones en 1585? ¿Cómo fue la trágica campaña de la Armada Invencible? Hasta hoy, los estudios sobre la armada española de 1588, la conocida como «Armada Invencible», se han debatido en disquisiciones técnicas, políticas, estratégicas o arqueológicas pasando de largo sobre el destino final de casi tres mil hombres (ni siquiera contabilizados hasta ahora) que fueron capturados durante la Jornada de Inglaterra. Ahora, por primera vez, Los prisioneros de la Armada Invencible no solo los rescata del olvido, sino que pone nombre y apellidos a casi ochocientos de ellos, las circunstancias de su captura, los lugares donde fueron retenidos y su destino final, en un relato que pone el foco en el aspecto humano y la epopeya que protagonizaron estos hombres al servicio de la Corona Española. La crítica ha dicho: «A través de un relato dinámico, intenso, conmovedor y apasionante, Pedro Luis Chinchilla nos revela por primera vez el destino de los prisioneros de esta batalla naval que tanta controversia ha suscitado a lo largo del tiempo». Magdalena de Pazzis Pi Corrales. Catedrática de Historia Moderna Universidad Complutense de Madrid «Con meticulosidad y cariño, Pedro Luis Chinchilla rescata del olvido a aquellos soldados que cayeron cautivos en su lucha por acabar con las agresiones que estaba perpetrando Isabel I de Inglaterra contra España». Luis Gorrochategui Santos. Investigador y escritor, autor de Contra Armada. La mayor victoria de España sobre Inglaterra y la carabela San Lesmes
