About the Book
Magellan
The maritime adventure that changed the history of the world.
A story of Magellan and his voyage to the ends of the earth in 1520 to find Patagonia and the strait that joins the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean, in order to reach the spice islands in Indonesia.
Patagonia
The history of Patagonia written by Jaime Said is the first consolidated account of explorations, endurance, and survival of man in the southern hemisphere, considering the flora and fauna of the region. It covers geographical limits, and detailed history of Patagonia since its discovery in 1520 up until the 19th century, when the territory become part of two Republics; Argentina and Chile.
This book covers three centuries, since the Renaissance, with the discovery of the straight of Magellan and the opening of the Western route to the Indies, weakening Venice and Portugal monopoly over the spice islands, until its independence from the Spanish colony.
Privateers such as Sir Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish sailed the southern seas of Patagonia on their encounter with Spanish fleet, where they raided ships loaded with gold and other valuable goods in the Cape Horn passage.
Later, the discovery of the Beagle Channel by Robert Fitzroy, which permitted Charles Darwin to collect species in Patagonia, deriving into serious investigations and conclusions of his famous theory of evolution and the origin of man.
The geography in this book is treated with several maps, under the official boundaries. This history covers all of Patagonia, treating the area as one single imaginary continent, including Argentina and Chile.
Lucrezzia
Durante el siglo XVII aparece una estrella en el Vaticano colmada de paciencia y de intrigas contra la corrupción de la curia. Lucrezzia mantiene la acción como protagonista de esta novela de suspenso y de gran emoción, tanto en lo religioso como en el amor sincero. Es la sostenedora de la moral de la época y un referente en Roma. Su valiente aventura en medio de la polémica y de la mafia italiana, es perseguida y adorada por la curia y odiada por las familias que han controlado el pontificado desde sus entrañas.
Esta novela de ficción, ocurre en un período y escenario real de la Roma del período Barroco en transición. Escrita por Jaime Said, autor Chileno desde la Patagonia
