El buque fantasma. E-book. Formato EPUB Frederick Marryat - Frederick Marryat, 2016 -
Esta clásica novela de aventuras escrita en 1837 desarrolla el mito del Holandés Errante. En ella se suceden episodios con piratas, naufragios, combates en tierras desconocidas, pero siempre originados por el halo de misterio que rodea a una vieja reliquia familiar legada a Philip Vanderdecken, un joven que, por azar o destino, llega a toparse con ese buque condenado a navegar (junto a toda su tripulación) hasta el Día del Juicio Final. Philip descubrirá quién es el capitán de ese buque fantasma, alguien demasiado cercano a él como para no dejar de intentar, por todos los medios, volver a encontrar al Holandés Errante.El mito del Holandés ErranteSegún la tradición, el Holandés Errante o el Holandés Volador (De Vliegende Hollander) es un barco fantasma que no puede volver a puerto, condenado a vagar para siempre por los océanos del mundo. El velero es siempre oteado en la distancia, a veces resplandeciendo con una luz fantasmal. Si otro barco lo saluda, su tripulación tratará de hacer llegar sus mensajes a tierra, a personas muertas siglos atrás.Las versiones de la leyenda son innumerables. Unas cuentan que la historia originariamente es holandesa, mientras que otras afirman que está basada en la obra de teatro The Flying Dutchman (1826), del dramaturgo inglés Edward Fitzball, y en la novela The Phantom Ship («El buque fantasma», 1837) de Frederick Marryat, más tarde adaptada al holandés como Het Vliegend Schip («El buque volador») por el clérigo de esa nacionalidad A.H.C. Römer. Otras versiones aluden a la ópera El holandés errante, de Richard Wagner (1841) y a The Flying Dutchman on Tappan Sea de Washington Irving (1855).
The pirate. E-book. Formato EPUB Frederick Marryat - Frederick Marryat, 2014 -
The Pirate by Frederick Marryat, first published in 1836. Among the few subjects which are still left at the disposal of the duly-gifted writer of romance is the Pirate. Not but that many have written of pirates. Defoe, after preparing the ground by a pamphlet story on the historic Captain Avery, wrote The Life, Adventures, and Piracies of Captain Singleton. Sir Walter Scott made use in somewhat the same fashion of the equally historic Gow—that is to say, his pirate bears about the same relation to the marauder who was suppressed by James Laing, that Captain Singleton does to Captain Avery. Michael Scott had much to say of pirates, and he had heard much of them during his life in the West Indies, for they were then making their last fight against law and order. The pirate could not escape the eye of Mr. R. L. Stevenson, and accordingly we have an episode of pirates in the episode of the Master of Ballantrae. Frederick Marryat (1792–1848) was Royal Navy officer, and acquaintance of Charles Dickens.
