«Travesía del horizonte» is the adventure novel by Javier Marías, published by Alfaguara in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Captain Kerrigan organises an expedition to Antarctica for men of letters and scientists, but that voyage is the thread of a plot built as a story within a story. Kidnappings, mysterious manuscripts and Edwardian ladies combine in a mocking homage to nineteenth-century adventure novels.
Paperback edition with dust jacket, published in 1999. ISBN 9788420441993.
For readers of literary fiction and adventure, with a taste for narrative play and homages to classics of the genre.
