Los mejores textos de Arturo P?rez-Reverte sobre su gran pasi?n: el mar Los barcos se pierden en tierra ofrece no solo un ins?lito goce n?utico sino una aproximaci?n iluminadora a la personalidad y el mundo del escritor a trav?s de la que quiz? sea la mayor de sus pasiones. «El mar restalla en las cuartillas que tengo sobre la mesa y que el viento agita blancas como penachos de espuma. Son las p?ginas de Los barcos se pierden en tierra, este libro que recoge textos y art?culos de Arturo P?rez-Reverte sobre mares y marinos, varios de ellos bien conocidos de los que le seguimos, otros in?ditos. La mayor?a procedentes de ese espacio tan refrescante y contumaz que es su colaboraci?n en el XL Semanal, "Patente de corso". Ahora todos juntos componen una poderosa y homog?nea escuadra que ofrece no solo un ins?lito goce n?utico sino una aproximaci?n iluminadora a la personalidad y el mundo del escritor a trav?s de la que quiz? sea la mayor de sus pasiones. En esta gozosa traves?a encuadernada hay pasajes de un conmovedor lirismo, como el relato de la primera vez que el autor observ? una ballena; episodios de gran ternura, como el de su hija nadando entre delfines; melanc?licas estampas de puertos; o, en el otro extremo, est?n los textos hilarantes del P?rez-Reverte iconoclasta, gamberro y cachondo. Las bromas a costa del brazo de Nelson, las diatribas contra los ingleses o los domingueros del mar, las motos de agua y los pijoyates.«Pasen la p?gina y disfruten de c?mo sopla el viento en las jarcias, bajo las estrellas. --Jacinto Ant?n ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Arturo P?rez-Reverte's best work about his great passion, the sea. Ships Are Lost Ashore offers not only an extraordinary nautical pleasure, but an enlightening approximation to the author's character and personal world by way of what might as well be his greatest passion. "The sea breaks within the pages I keep on my table, which the wind stirs up white, as foam headdresses. They belong to Ships Are Lost Ashore, this book, containing Arturo P?rez-Reverte's essays and articles on seas and seamen, some of them well-known by those of us who follow him, others unpublished. Most of them surge from that refreshing and contumacious space we find in his XL Semanal collaboration, 'Patente de corso'. Together, they compose a powerful and uniform fleet, offering not only an extraordinary nautical pleasure, but an enlightening approximation to the author's character and personal world by way of what might as well be his greatest passion. "In this blissfulbound voyage, we find landscapes of overwhelming lyricism, like in his tale of the first time he saw a whale; episodes of great tenderness, like her daughter swimming among dolphins; melancholy port stamps, or hilarious pieces from the iconoclast funny trouble-maker P?rez-Reverte. Jokes at the expense of Nelson's arm, rants against the British or Sunday sailors, jet skis, and fancy yachts. "Turn the page and enjoy the wind blowing through the rigging, under the stars," Jacinto Ant?n.
