Trafalgar (1873) is a novel by Benito Perez Galdos. Published
toward the beginning of Perez Galdos' career, Trafalgar is the
first in of 46 historical novels in the author's monumental, career
spanning series of National Episodes. Set during the bloody naval
battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Perez Galdos' novel is a story of
heroism, growth, and adventure that manages to find humanity in
history. "Always eager to mimic the greater world around us, we
boys too had our squadrons of little ships, roughly hewn in wood,
with sails of paper or of rag, which we navigated with the greatest
deliberation and gravity in the pools of Puntales or La Caleta." At
fourteen, the young orphan Gabriel de Araceli gets the chance to
leave boyhood games behind when his master, a retired naval
officer, receives a letter requesting his return to service.
Together, Gabriel and Don Alonso set out to join a Spanish Armada
preparing to enter into battle with the British Royal Navy.
Painstakingly researched by its author, Trafalgar is a detailed
fictional retelling of one history's most iconic conflicts. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Benito Perez Galdos's Trafalgar is a classic of
Spanish literature reimagined for modern readers.
