La vuelta al mundo maldita
Book SynopsisHabía que regresar. Al retornar Elcano tras la primera vuelta al mundo, resultaba fundamental acudir de nuevo a las islas de las Especias, y para ello se organizó una gran expedición. Su capitán general fue el comendador García Jofréde Loaysa, alguien poco conocido hasta el momento, aunque con un currículum brillante que ahora se rescata del olvido.Fruto de una larga y exhaustiva documentación, esta obra marca un antes y un después en el conocimiento sobre la expedición de Loaysa: un viaje épico cargado de dramatismo, seguido de una guerra desigual a la que con astucia, pundonor y corazón hubo quienes sobrevivieron, y volvieron para contarlo.Una historia de superación que convierte a sus protagonistas en acreedores de la gloria, y que nunca antes había sido narrada así, sorprendiéndonos nuevamente el autor con su habilidad para convertir la historia en una aventura apasionante.Este libro es imprescindible porque cubre desconocimientos, ata cabos y despierta curiosidades.A

Taylor & Francis Hello Sailor
Book SynopsisWhen gays had to be closeted, ships were the only places where homosexual men could not only be out but also camp. And on some liners to the sun and the New World, queens and butches had a ball. They sashayed and minced their way across the world's oceans. Never before has the story been told of the masses. These are the thousands of queer seafarers, mainly stewards, who sometimes even outnumbered the straight men in the catering departments of ships that were household names and the pride of the British fleet. Hello Sailor! uniquely shows what it was like to be queer at sea at a time when land meant straightness. Trade Review"What this fascinating book is really about is not 'gay life at sea' in general, but the gay ghettos on many liners and cruiseships during the fifties and sixties."George Melly, The Mail on Sunday "...this path breaking book tells the hidden story of passion and liberation at sea. This is a vital addition to the understanding of gay and sea history."Publishing News "...candid confessions cause the narrative to leap into life."Independent on Sunday. "...a fascinating account."Gay Times "...Hello Sailor! transcends its niche as a piece of gay history and, instead, becomes something that has resonances for all readers, whether gay, straight or something in between."The Observer '...an eminently readable, often amusing and original book...'Journal of Contemporary History, Vol 41, No 1Table of Contentsintro1 Sailor Jack: the Other Side; Chapter 1 When Queer was Covert; Chapter 2 A Place of Freedom; Chapter 3 Speaking Gay Secrets; Chapter 4 Sea Wives and Meat Racks; Chapter 5 Sequins, Satin and Stilettos; Chapter 6 Ho Land!

Taylor & Francis The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe
Book SynopsisDiscussion of medieval European expansion tends to focus on expansion eastward and the crusades. The selection of studies reprinted here, however, focuses on the other end of Eurasia, where dwelled the warlike Celts, and beyond whom lay the north seas and the awesome Atlantic Ocean, formidable obstacles to expansion westward. This volume looks first at the legacy of the Viking expansion which had briefly created a network stretching across the sea from Britain and Ireland to North America, and had demonstrated that the Atlantic could be crossed and land reached. The next sections deal with the English expansion in the western and northern British Isles. In the 12th century the Normans began the process of subjugating the Celts, thus inaugurating for the English an experience which was to prove crucial when colonizing the Americas in the 17th century. Medieval Ireland in particular served as a laboratory for the development of imperial institutions, attitudes, and ideologies that shapedTable of ContentsContents: Introduction.
