Synopsis "El Pirata gow (in Spanish)"

John Gow nació en Escocia hacia 1697 y pese a que murió joven, en 1725, fue un pirata renombrado. El pirata Gow, publicado originalmente en Londres en el mismo año de su muerte, es el relato de los últimos años de su vida. La historia es a un tiempo amena y veraz, pues no cae en ninguno de los tópicos con que a menudo la literatura tiende a mitificar a aquellos hombres, y refleja fielmente lo que fue la vida como pirata de este personaje, que recorrió en su actividad las costas de España, Portugal y Francia. Gow y sus compañeros de fechorías aparecen en el relato como los hombres sanguinarios y crueles que fueron, lo que contribuye a darnos una imagen fiel del oficio de pirata, gracias a una técnica narrativa casi notarial. Una obra del mayor interés para los amantes de la literatura de piratas, inédita hasta hoy en castellano.

View Author's Page

English writer and journalist, Daniel Defoe is mainly known for his novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), though he also stood out for his role in the development of the press and for his political and social essays

Defoe left his studies to become a discreet businessman, whose activities were not entirely profitable, even receiving prison time for his debts

From 1695, after several years of exile due to his political ideology, he starts a new business dedicated to tiles and bricks which begins to work, providing his family—he was married and had six children—with greater economic stability

However, his political activism leads him to publish several essays or pamphlets that cost him days of imprisonment and the pillory. After returning to jail, Defoe begins working from a magazine supporting political factions of the government, participating in the English secret services

In 1719 he publishes his great novel, Robinson Crusoe, which allows him to launch into a literary career marked by successes such as The Adventures of Captain Singleton, A Journal of the Plague Year, or Moll Flanders. His popularity grew and his influence on subsequent generations of writers by enhancing the novelistic genre is notable

Despite all his success and his connections with the government, Defoe never achieved stable economic solvency for long. His death in 1731 occurred while fleeing from new creditors

El libro llego en el tiempo estimado, es un libro corto pero muy muy entretenido, sobre todo para la gente que gusta de la historia de la piratería. El tamaño es ideal para leer en transporte público

Gran relato, minucioso, una buena historia que describe sin romanticismo la piratería.
