Thanks to the efforts of William Vilaboa Unanue can enjoy another novel about Blas de Lezo. This time it's a story about the young Basque sailor. With 238 pages "Sea Passages" is all exciting fights to the unequal encounter with the Stanhope. As its author points out "is based on the youth of deLezo Blas, marine San Pedro, Pasajes. It reflected the characters and historical events as accurately as possible. Biographical information known to that stage of his life appear in the story, along with others trying to be credible, but they are invented. I leave the judgment of the reader to distinguish fact from fiction. There are many literary tributes, music, film ... I hope you enjoy finding them, at least as much as I inserting ". Also new to the work is that you can download for free in digital format through Bubok , but paper can be ordered on the same site. Enjoy it because this new vision is very interesting.
