El teatro en medio del océano

Quevedo, Francisco Juan

Feliciano Silva was orphaned at the age of nine when his father fell from a scaffolding during the construction of the Pérez Galdós theater in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1876. From that moment on, alone and helpless, Feliciano begins to manage among the thugs of the port with a single goal: to become the most powerful man on the island. This is how El Guirre was born, a man who, spurred by an excessive ambition, went from being a humble fish seller to being the most feared character in the Atlantic. And this is his story, which unfolds to the beat of the great theater. Against the background of the political events that took place from the end of the 19th century to the first decades of the 20th -the Revolution of 1868, the First Republic and the Bourbon Restoration, the war in Cuba and the First World War-, we enter a fascinating story of overcoming and struggle for power of a man who wanted to have it all.
