This novel narrates one of the most incredible adventures in the history of humanity: the first circumvallation of the globe. A unique journey where the distances are astonishing, the will triumphs over limitations and time is no longer relevant when it comes to achieving glory. Álber Vázquez gives voice to the handful of daring who sailed into completely unknown territories and discovered the true dimension of the world. Unjustly forgotten, they speak in the first person in these vibrant pages where human capacity, sacrifice, camaraderie and loyalty shine. Thus, Juan Sebastián Elcano and his men, aboard the Victoria, manage to demonstrate that the raw material from which the heroes of history are built is commitment, obstinacy and an irrepressible desire to always go further.
