Overview

ANTES EL PUEBLO QUE EL REY.

UN VIAJE AL ESPLENDOR Y LAS SOMBRAS DEL INMENSO IMPERIO ESPAÑOL DEL SIGLO XVIII. UNA NOVELA IMPRESCINDIBLE PARA COMPRENDER NUESTRA HISTORIA.

En el año 1771, la corona española extiende sus inmensos dominios a ambos lados del océano gobernando el mayor imperio de la época. Son tiempos de esplendor, pero también de sombras.

Con solo dieciocho años, Jaime abandona Menorca, ocupada por los británicos, para estudiar Navegación en Barcelona. Quiere combatirles en el Caribe, junto con las fuerzas de Carlos III, y vengar así el daño que los ingleses hicieron a su familia. Mientras, en Madrid, Almudena se encuentra en una situación desesperada a raíz de la represión que siguió al motín de Esquilache.

Cuando ambos coinciden en la capital, ella suplica a Jaime que la ayude a escapar. El joven, cautivado, acepta aún sabiendo que Almudena está casada y que salvarla puede condenarle. Juntos emprenderán un viaje apasionante y peligroso de Cádiz a La Habana, y a la lucha por la independencia norteamericana, mientras tratan de reprimir un amor tan inevitable como prohibido.

Una gran aventura en la que tanto los protagonistas como el propio lector irán descubriendo que la verdadera fuerza de un imperio no radica en sus gobernantes, sino en las gentes sencillas que lo sostienen.

Jorge Molist firma su novela más ambiciosa, inspirada en un personaje real que pasó a la Historia con el sobrenombre de «el Español».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

FIRST THE PEOPLE, THEN THE KING.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SPLENDOR AND SHADOWS OF THE VAST SPANISH EMPIRE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. AN ESSENTIAL NOVEL TO UNDERSTAND SPANISH HISTORY.


In the year 1771, the Spanish Crown extends her vast dominion across both sides of the ocean, ruled by the greatest empire of the time. It is a moment of splendor, but also darkness.

Only eighteen years of age, Jaime leaves Menorca, occupied by the British, to study Navigation in Barcelona. He wants to fight them in the Caribbean, join Charles III’s forces, and thus avenge the damage the English caused his family. Meanwhile, in Madrid, Almudena finds herself in a desperate situation due to the repression that followed the Esquilache mutiny.

When they both meet at the capital, she begs Jaime to help her escape. The young man, captivated, accepts, even knowing Almudena is married and helping her could condemn him. Together they set on a passionate and dangerous journey from Cádiz to Havana, to the fight for American independence, while trying to repress a love as inevitable as it is forbidden.

A great adventure in which both the protagonists and the readers will discover that the true strength of an empire lies not in their rulers, but in the simple people that hold it together.
