About this ebook

Embark on a journey through the vast and mysterious Pacific with Cristiano Luchini's captivating sea-inspired novel "Marquesas. The great journey to Polynesia." Drawing on the pages of Pedro Fernandes de Queirós' "Memoriales de las Indias Australes," the story offers a vividly imagined narrative account of the landing of four ships on one of the islands that would later be called Marquesas. It was in July 1595, and the mission was commanded by Admiral Mendaña de Neira, a daring explorer who braved the treacherous waters of the South Sea in search of new lands and riches.

As you read, you'll be transported to a world of adventure and discovery, where the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean hides untold wonders and dangers. You'll feel the salty sea spray on your face and hear the creaking of the wooden ships as they navigate the turbulent waves. You'll meet a cast of unforgettable characters, from the intrepid Admiral Mendaña and the resourceful Captain Pedro Fernández de Queirós to the brave sailors who risked their lives on the high seas.

But this is not just a tale of adventure and exploration. It is also a story of romance, as Queirós, the "Don Quixote of the South Sea," falls in love with the islands he encounters and becomes obsessed with exploring their hidden secrets. And it is a story of ambition and betrayal, as Queirós' dreams of conquest and glory clash with the harsh realities of colonialism and imperial expansion.

With its richly detailed historical backdrop and its vividly drawn characters, this novel will transport you to a world that is both familiar and exotic, where the sea holds the key to untold riches and hidden mysteries. So set sail with Cristiano Luchini's thrilling sea-inspired novel and discover the wonders of the Pacific for yourself!
