Description
Darío Adanti's La ballena tatuada is a unique blend of historical record and maritime legend. In 1522, eighteen men set sail from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the Victoria, a ship that had been battered by years of harsh seas. Their journey was one of remarkable endurance, as they successfully completed the first circumnavigation of the globe. This graphic documentary weaves together the true story of their voyage with real and invented sea shanties, creating a vivid portrait of life at sea in the 16th century. The book is also a tribute to the brave navigators who explored these treacherous waters over the centuries, including the indigenous peoples of the Pacific. Published in 2021, La ballena tatuada coincides with the celebration of the V centenary of Magallanes' first circumnavigation.
