Sobre este artículo
New York: Penguin (Non-Classics), 2010. First edition thus. Trade Paperback. Very Good +. 268 p. incl. notes, bibliography and index; trade paperback; VG+ condition, minor reading wear. The true story of the Sea Venture, shipwrecked on Bermuda in 1609, based on the account of WIlliam Strachey, one of the passengers. The castaways survived for a year on Bermuda, eventually reaching Jamestown in two pinnaces with much needed food for the starving colonists. Strachey's account of their ordeal inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest".
Sinopsis
"At once a penetrating work of literary analysis and a riveting historical narrative." -Nathaniel Philbrick Merging maritime adventure and early colonial history, A Brave Vessel charts a little-known chapter of the past that offers a window on the inspiration for one of Shakespeare's greatest works. In 1609, aspiring writer William Strachey set sail for the New World aboard the Sea Venture , only to wreck on the shores of Bermuda. Strachey's meticulous account of the tragedy, the castaways' time in Bermuda, and their arrival in a devastated Jamestown, remains among the most vivid writings of the early colonial period. Though Strachey had literary aspirations, only in the hands of another William would his tale make history as The Tempest -a fascinating connection across time and literature that Hobson Woodward brings vividly to life.
