If ever the story of any private man's adventures in the world were worth making public, and were acceptable when published, the Editor of this account thinks this will be so. The wonders of this man's life exceed all that (he thinks) is to be found extant; the life of one man being scarce capable of a greater variety. The story is told with modesty, with seriousness, and with a religious application of events to the uses to which wise men always...

Nuestro barco pesaba ciento veinte toneladas, tenía seis cañones y una tripulación de catorce hombres, sin contar al capitán, a su siervo y a mí.
Solo sobreviví yo.
Sería un viaje como tantos otros, en el que seguiríamos una ruta muy conocida que nos llevaría de Brasil a África. Esperábamos contar con un tiempo excepcional, cielos despejados y pequeñas olas encrespadas, como las del dorso de un cocodrilo.
Pero los cocodrilos saben morder,...

It is too long, they think, and there is...
