“Nay, my son, two years is not so long,” said Mynheer Kloots, who observed the passing cloud on Philip’s brow. “I was once five years away, and was unfortunate, for I brought home nothing, not even my ship.

Libro de aventuras y misterio, aunque lo más interesante es cómo retrata perfectamente la sociedad pensante de principios del siglo XIX, el racismo, la intransigencia De la Iglesia, la xenofobia... Los personajes más interesantes de la historia sin duda Amina y Krantz, sin ellos el libro sería un to

Interesante libro de aventuras sobre el mito del "Holandés Errante".
