About the Book

La más épica de las aventuras, la expedición de Magallanes, y un oscuro misterio en una recóndita aldea de Cantabria se unen en una novela palpitante de personajes inolvidables.

«En Las páginas del mar, Sergio Martínez demuestra saber combinar el género histórico con el de aventuras.»
El Correo Español

«Elegancia y pasión, uno de esos relatos que se lee con placer. La novela de Sergio Martínez desprende sinceridad, humildad y buena calidad.»
La Opinión de Murcia

A finales de la primavera de 1519, un joven montañés y su hermano de quince años llegan a Sevilla. Atrás quedan meses de vagabundear por tierras de España, alejándose cada vez más de su aldea natal en el norte, trampeando y malviviendo por los caminos. En las tabernas de la hermosa y vibrante ciudad del sur, el único puerto del que parten los barcos con destino al Nuevo Mundo, los muchachos escuchan con avidez los rumores sobre las expediciones que están preparándose en ese momento.

En una de ellas nadie quiere participar. El destino son las islas de las Especias, en el mar de la India, de donde proceden el clavo de olor y la nuez moscada que se pagan a precio de oro en los mercados europeos. Solo los portugueses comercian con ellas, ya que controlan la única ruta marítima conocida para llegar a las islas: la que va por el este. Sin embargo, un marino ha ofrecido al rey Carlos I buscar otra vía: por el oeste, bajando la costa del Nuevo Mundo hasta dar con un paso que les conduzca al mar del Sur.

Embarcarse en esa expedición es una auténtica locura. Aunque tal vez sea la única oportunidad de los dos hermanos para borrar su pista, dejar atrás el pasado y emprender una nueva vida.

El 10 de agosto de 1519, cinco naos al mando de Fernando de Magallanes parten rumbo a lo desconocido. Y en una de ellas, un joven norteño empezará a escribir una historia. La de un niño humilde de una aldea de Liébana, destinado a cuidar de su parcela de tierra, como sus padres y sus abuelos antes que él. Un niño que soñaba con aprender a leer y a escribir, y a vivir con su gran amor... hasta que todo se torció.

«Ni yendo al lugar más lejano puede uno huir de sí mismo.»

Los blogueros opinan:
«Hacía tiempo que no leía un libro con tantas peripecias, con esas aventuras que no deberíamos dejar nunca de lado.»
Miscadigresiones

«Una novela espléndida desde la página uno. Dirás: sólo leeré un capítulo más, y repites lo mismo una y otra vez hasta acabar.»
¿Te gusta leer?

«He sufrido, me he emocionado, he aprendido, y casi podría decir que he vivido a la vez que el protagonista. Sin duda es un libro que recomiendo.»
Once_upon_a_time

«Me puse a leer este libro sin apenas convicción, y navegando navegando y casi sin darme cuenta me he visto, tres días después, leyendo la página 623 de los agradecimientos. Un libro que me ha gustado, que me ha permitido conocer más (o casi todo) de Magallanes (a Colón lo tenemos ya muy visto) y sobre todo que me ha permitido gozar con una buena historia, bien narrada, fluida y equilibrada. Una sorpresa, pues, muy agradable.»
Devaneos

«La historia me ha parecido, simplemente, fantástica.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Not even in the farthest-off places can one escape from himself."

In the spring of 1519, a young man and his 15-year-old brother arrive in Seville. Behind them they leave months of wandering around Spain, getting farther and farther from their homeland in the north, swindling and scraping by along the way. In the taverns of the beautiful and vibrant southern city, the only port from which ships depart for the New World, the boys listen avidly to the rumors about the expeditions that are being prepared at that very moment.

In one of these, no one wants to participate, but for them it might be the only opportunity to start a new life. The destination is the Spice Islands in the Indian Sea, the origin of the cloves and nutmeg that fetch top dollar in Europe. However, the expedition cannot travel the only known maritime route, as it is controlled by the Portuguese.

There must be some alternative. On August 10, 1519, five ships under Ferdinand Magellan's command leave en route to the unknown. And on one of them, the Victoria, a young northerner begins to write his own story. Because it was in a distant village in Liébana, in a time marked by scarcity, betrayal, and arguments--but also by dreams, desires, and love--that everything began.

"I have suffered, I have been thrilled, I have learned, and I could almost say that I have lived along with the protagonist." -Érase una vez
