«Sotavento» is the novel by Luis Berenguer, published by FisicalBook in paperback (305 pages, in Spanish).
Between the years before Trafalgar and the exile of Isabella II, the novel recreates the lives of Spanish naval officers and of an empire fading away. Drawing on documents, diaries, letters and accounts handed down by his ancestors, Berenguer builds a choral chronicle that recalls a vanished world.
Subtitled «Crónica de los olvidados», the work originally appeared in 1973 in the Alfaguara Literaria collection (no. 37), according to bibliographic records.
It will appeal to readers of Spanish historical fiction and to those seeking a choral narrative about nineteenth-century naval Spain and its colonial past.
Luis Berenguer y Moreno de Guerra was a Spanish writer. He wrote six novels, the first of which, El mundo de Juan Lobón (1967), is his best known work. It won the Premio de la Crítica and was turned into a television series. He also won the Premio Alfaguara in 1971 for Lena Verde.
