Description

A vivid odyssey through a world of danger, mystery, and frontier loyalties. Captain Cuellar's Adventures in Connaught & Ulster A.D. 1588 invites readers to walk the bogs and battlegrounds of Elizabethan Ireland alongside a wary observer who records every encounter with wit, grit, and rare candour. This translated narrative edition blends a historical travel narrative with an engrossing historical adventure memoir, offering a lucid window into connaught and ulster campaigns of 1588. The text moves between the drama of Irish military encounters and the broader arc of the Spanish Armada's echoes in Ireland, presenting a complete translation that preserves period voice while inviting modern reflection. It is a work of artefact and art, an illustrated edition that feels tangible in its detail, yet accessible in its humane storytelling. Beyond its pages, the book holds lasting literary and historical significance as a cornerstone of irish and spanish armada accounts, a testimony to elizabethan ireland, and a rare bridge between translation and original travel writing. It will appeal to casual readers drawn to vivid travel and adventure, as well as classic-literature collectors who prize preserved voice and context. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by alpha editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint-a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is a complete, thoughtfully presented account that honours the era while speaking to contemporary readers.
