Sobre IBD

Piratas de América, también traducida como Los bucaneros de América, es la crónica apasionante, narrada en primera persona, de un actor presencial de las aventuras de los piratas del siglo XVII. La obra se publicó en Ámsterdam en 1678, y la tradujo al español Alonso de Buena-Maison, amigo del autor, en 1681. Se considera«un relato verídico de las más destacadas actividades piráticas cometidas en la época en las costas de las Indias Occidentales por los Bucaneros o Filibusteros de Jamaica y la Tortuga.»En 1666 Alexandre Exquemelin, el autor de Piratas de América, partió hacia América desde el puerto de El Havre. Zarpó en la nave San Juan, de la Compañía Francesa de las Indias Occidentales. El barco cayó en manos de los piratas y Exquemelin fue vendido como esclavo en la isla Tortuga. Durante su cautiverio aprendió de su amo el oficio de cirujano, y adoptó la Ley de la Costa, siendo pirata. Así sirvió a las órdenes de piratas tan insignes como François l’Olonnais, Morgan o Bertrand d’Oregon. Vivió victorias inconfesables hasta el fallido desembarco en la costa occidental de Puerto Rico, en 1674. Participó asimismo en asedios a las plazas de tierra firme:combatió en los dos asaltos a Maracaibo. Estuvo en las dos tomas de la isla de Santa Catalina y en la toma y desvastación de Panamá.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
