El relato de un corsario yanqui

Por Nathaniel Hawthorne

El relato de un corsario yanqui es una obra póstuma de Nathaniel Hawthorne, prácticamente desconocida, pues, desde el momento de su aparición en 1926, nunca ha sido reeditada ni traducida. La vida del protagonista, un corsario yanqui de la guerra de 1812 contra Inglaterra, sus peripecias en el mar y en la prisión de Dartmoor conceden a esta obra un carácter a la vez documental y novelesco sumamente atractivo.
