En una aldea caribeña, la leyenda de un tesoro desaparecido conmociona la existencia de la familia Otero. Los exploradores se suceden en busca del botÃn del capitán Henry Morgan, cuyo barco se hundió frente al pueblo trescientos años antes, cruzándose en el camino de Serena Otero, la heredera de la plantación de caña de azúcar, que sueña con otros horizontes. Año tras año, mientras la propiedad familiar prospera y se destila el mejor ron de la región, todos buscan el tesoro que dará sentido a sus vidas. Pero en esta tierra salvaje y asfixiante, la fatalidad se complace en desviar las ambiciones y los deseos que los consumen. En esta historia de tintes filosóficos, Miguel Bonnefoy reinventa la leyenda de uno de los corsarios más famosos para contarnos el destino de hombres y mujeres guiados por la búsqueda del amor y frustrados por los caprichos de la fortuna. También nos ofrece, en una suntuosa prosa, la imagen conmovedora y encantadora de un paÃs cuyas riquezas son tanto espejismos como maleficios.
In a Caribbean village, the legend of a lost treasure upends the life of the Otero family. One explorer after another arrives in search of the loot of Captain Henry Morgan, whose ship sank off the coast three hundred years earlier, crossing paths with Serena Otero, heiress to the sugarcane plantation, who dreams of other horizons. Year after year, as the family estate prospers and the region's finest rum is distilled, everyone seeks the treasure that will give meaning to their lives. Yet in this wild and suffocating land, fate delights in diverting the ambitions and desires that consume them. In this philosophically tinged tale, Miguel Bonnefoy reinvents the legend of one of the most famous corsairs to tell the destinies of men and women driven by the search for love and thwarted by the whims of fortune. In sumptuous prose, it also offers us the moving and enchanting image of a country whose riches are both mirages and curses.
