«Trafalgar» is Elia Barceló's version of Benito Pérez Galdós's historical novel, published by Edelvives in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
A young man of our time, Gabi, reads the notebook of an ancestor who took part in the Battle of Trafalgar as a very young man. Through that reading, he relives how some boys find themselves caught up in war: the fascination and dread at the cannon fire, the din of naval combat, and the entry into history.
The original work is the first episode of the first series of Galdós's Episodios Nacionales. This edition (2005, Alandar collection no. 66) is illustrated by Jordi Vila Delclòs.
A suitable read for secondary school students and for young people beginning with historical fiction.
Benito María de los Dolores Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist and politician. He was a leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain, and some scholars consider him second only to Miguel de Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist.
