«Y a mi sobrino Albert le dejo la isla que le gané a Fatty Hagan en una partida de póquer» is the humor novel by David Forrest, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (252 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist bequeaths to his nephew Albert a small island won in a poker game. When a Soviet ship runs aground on one half and US Marines occupy the other, the islet becomes an international conflict between Washington and Moscow that upends Albert's life.
The translation is by Gabriel López Guix. The work was originally published under the title «And to My Nephew Albert I Leave the Island What I Won Off Fatty Hagan in a Poker Game...» and belongs to twentieth-century English literature.
