Javais kept a very good memory of my previous trips in the bibliography dArturo Perez-Reverte, without being completely fell in love so far. "The graveyard of boats unnamed" marks a new stage in my reverte-philia: complete lightning stroke! From the first pages of the prologue, I fell in love with this boat lost history, starry seas, buried treasure and damours betrayed. Jai immediately seduced by special atmosphere that exudes this story moist, dark, nostalgic, poetic, constantly straddling disillusionment and wonder and its main character, dreamer clueless shy smile and quiet look, about the deeper of melancholy as the most savage brutality of explosions. Decortication of its complex and stormy relationship with lensorcelante Tanger Soho has nothing to envy with shipping descriptions and violent sequences scattered throughout the novel evidence that Perez-Reverte is definitely an accomplished writer as comfortable in the register in emotion that of the action.

Fascinating story of adventure, history of love, marine survey, thriller "The graveyard of boats unnamed" brings together many genres, but it is above all a fervent and lyrical declaration of love to the sea and maritime literature.
