«La taza de oro» is the historical novel by John Steinbeck, published by Edhasa in hardback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the seventeenth century, the novel follows the life of Sir Henry Morgan, a buccaneer elected admiral by the pirates of the Caribbean. Steinbeck focuses on the expedition that culminates in the conquest of Panama, the city called the Cup of Gold, and on the abundant plunder that turned Morgan into a legendary figure of an era when piracy was part of the war between Spain and England.
The edition belongs to the Narrativas Históricas collection and includes the translation by Ángela Pérez. The work was originally published as «Cup of Gold» in 1929.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and buccaneer adventures, as well as for those who want to discover an early work by John Steinbeck.
