«Las islas de la imprudencia» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Edhasa in hardback, with 344 pages, in Spanish.
The novel follows the Spanish expedition to the South Pacific captained by Álvaro de Mendaña and his wife, Ysabel de Barreto; it draws on two little-known facts: the arrival in Australia before the English and the command assumed by the widow after the general's death; and it reflects the rivalry between the British and Spanish fleets and the courage of the sailors.
This edition was published in 2003. The work belongs to the Narrativas Históricas collection by Edhasa; the translation from English is by Rubén Masera.
For a general audience, especially readers of historical fiction and maritime adventure fiction.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
