«Travesía del horizonte» is the adventure novel by Javier Marías, published by Alfaguara in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Captain Kerrigan gathers artists and scientists to travel to Antarctica, but coexistence soon becomes complicated. Kidnappings, manuscripts, duels and dubious deals appear, while the captain's hidden past gives an unsettling tone to the voyage. The work is an affectionate and mocking homage to nineteenth-century adventure novels.
