«Five Black Ships» is the historical novel by Napoleón Baccino Ponce de León, published by Picador in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
In 1519, the jester Juanillo embarks with Magellan's expedition bound for the Spice Islands. Aboard the five black ships, the novel follows the real men whom history reduced to names: sailors dreaming of gold, adventure, spices and honours, amid suffering and the power of imagination.
The work was originally published as «Maluco: la novela de los descubridores» in 1989 and won the Casa de las Américas Prize.
For readers of historical fiction who want to glimpse the great expeditions from the perspective of their crews.
