Información sobre impresión:

Información de contracubierta:
Sería perfectamente posible resumir en un párrafo la historia de Trama, pero no es conveniente. En la novela hay un elemento de suspense que se debe disfrutar hasta el final.
Sin embargo, queremos advertir que los dramáticos sucesos relatados transcurrieron real y secretamente a fines del siglo pasado en Alemania, Jamaica, Chicago, Nueva York, Madrid, La Habana y París. (Algunas consecuencias de aquellos hechos todavía perduran.)
Pero hay más: Trama es también una novela de amor. Sólo que de amor entre tres —dos hombres y una mujer— lo que complica morbosamente el relato.
Y es una novela policíaca, porque contiene todos los elementos básicos del género: el crimen, los criminales, las pistas y el infatigable detective.
Y es una novela de aventuras, en la que cada capítulo depara un suceso sorprendente, aumenta un grado la ansiedad del lector y lo precipita hacia el siguiente.
Y es una novela sicológica, porque los personajes principales comparecen con personalidades bien definidas y características diferentes.
Pero —además— es una gran novela a secas. Un libro escrito con una prosa ceñida, transparente, siempre al servicio de la carpintería interior de la obra, lo que explica que, una vez leída, no sea fácil olvidarse de la historia ni de sus protagonistas principales.
 
Información de solapas:
Carlos Alberto Montaner nació en La Habana en 1943. Desde 1970 reside en Madrid. Ha publicado once libros. Trama es su segunda novela. La primera, Perromundo (1972), cuenta con varias ediciones en diferentes países —dos de ellas en Plaza & Janés— fue llevada al cine en 1979. Tiene dos libros de relatos: Poker de brujas (1969) e Instantáneas al borde del abismo (1970). Entre sus libros de ensayo se destacan Informe secreto sobre la revolución cubana (1975), 200 años de gringos (1976), De la literatura considerada como una forma de urticaria (1980), Fidel Castro y la revolución cubana (1980) —también publicado por Plaza & Janés—, El ojo del ciclón (1981), Cuba: claves para una conciencia en crisis (1982) y Para un continente imaginario (1985). Montaner ha sido profesor de literatura en la Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico. Semanalmente, desde 1968, publica una columna periodística en más de medio centenar de diarios de España, América Latina y los Estados Unidos, país este último en el que se reproduce en castellano e inglés. Se le ha calificado como «uno de los más influyentes y leídos periodistas en el ámbito del idioma». Habitualmente hace comentarios para la televisión de varios países de América Latina y de los Estados Unidos.

Don Street's 1905 Yawl, Iolaire Lost

By feeds.thesailingchannel.tv
Published On :: Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:30:00 -0400


Ten years after Don sold her, at 0200 on July 26, 2019 - Don's 89th birthday, Iolaire was underway in heavy weather. She was sailing dead downwind in the Spanish Balearic islands along the northeast coast of Ibiza. Reports state that an inadvertent jibe caused her to head inshore, pile up on the rocks, and sink ending her 114 year old career.

In this video podcast from Don's two volume how-to set: Streetwise Tips, Don demonstrates three different ways to rig a preventer that will stop an accidental jibe of the boom when running well off or straight down wind.
CLICK TO PLAY.

DON STREET VIDEOS
Over the years Don has been involved in the production of five major sailing videos in which he passes on his decades of seamanship knowledge. Iolaire is featured in two of these: "Antigua Race Week 1985" and "Transatlantic with Street". Three others contain dozens of how-to sailing tips: "Streetwise 1 & 2, and Sailors' Knots & Line Handling.

You can stream Don's videos, and purchase Downloads and DVDs with a SailFlix subscription. You can buy or rent individual Don Street videos through Vimeo On Demand.

MAIN BOOM FOREGUY/PREVENTER
Over a half century ago, when Don purchased Iolaire in St Thomas, he realized that the large, heavy main boom (leftover from her gaff rigged days) could be a real widow maker in an inadvertent jibe. Don insisted that whenever sailing broad off, the crew rig a main boom foreguy/preventer. This was often a difficult and dangerous job. After testing various methods, Don developed a foreguy/preventer that the crew could easily rig with no one going FORWARD of the mast. WATCH THE VIDEO then read Don's detailed instructions. ALWAYS rigged when sailing broad off or dead down wind, Don's foreguy/preventer kept crew and Iolaire safe throughout Don's ownership.

IOLAIRE HISTORY
"Iolaire" is a Gaelic term that translates in English as “white-tailed sea eagle”. She was designed, built and launched by Harris Bros, UK in 1905. Iolaire was the only 100 year old plus yacht that had been in continuous commission since she was launched; cruising and racing during both wars, as she was Irish owned and based. In her early years, Iolair was raced and cruised by several prominent skippers of the R.O.R.C (the UK's Royal Ocean Racing Club). For full specifications and history of Iolaire, visit the Classicsailboats.org Iolaire registry page..

IOLAIRE AND DON STREET
Beginning in 1957, Don Street owned and sailed the 46 foot yawl for 52 years cruising, chartering, racing, and exploring the eastern Caribbean with family, friends and his Grenadian crew. Don skippered Iolaire across the Atlantic seven times between the United Kingdom and the Caribbean, and eight times up and down the Thames River - all without an engine. The knowledge he gain from these voyages resulted in hundreds of articles, three books, and his all inclusive Guides to the Eastern Caribbean and the Atlantic's Cape Verdes islands. Don also created the highly popular Imray Iolaire Charts to the Eastern Caribbean, which opened these waters to regular cruising sailors for the first time. Learn more about Don Street and Iolaire.

Don Street Sailors' Knots
From Don Street Sailors' Knots. Filmed in Martinique aboard Iolaire, his 46 ft engineless wooden yawl, master sailor Don Street teaches you and your crew everything you need to know about sailors' knots and more in just 50 minutes. Don starts by covering 8 basic knots then adds more advanced knots like the rolling hitch, fisherman's bend, and tow boat hitch. With a down to earth style, he teaches you how to tie each knot and most importantly, when to use it, making a sometimes difficult subject easy and pleasurable. First Don demonstrates at normal speed then he shows you a slow motion close up that makes the knot's path easy to follow and learn. Don also covers proper line handling, dock line throwing, sail stops, halyards, and how to repair a chafed rope. Don gives you the critical knot and line handling skills every skipper should know.
