Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. It is the end of the seventeenth century, and the Rising Sun, the biggest of a five-ship flotilla, is making the perilous trip to Darien on the northern coast of Panama. With it go all the hopes and fears of the Scottish people who, driven at last to defiance of their jealous and powerful neighbour, wholeheartedly throw themselves into the scramble for empire and trade, the quest for untold riches and the discovery of a promised land.The narrator is Roderick Mackenzie, a young Scot of ambition, cunning - and naivity. Having secured for himself a place aboard the Rising Sun, he becomes the expeditions self-appointed chronicler - a task that turns out to be very different to the one that he had anticipated, as optimism turns to despair, comradeship to rivalry, and the brave colonial life to a long and heartbreaking struggle with rain, mud and disease. 'We finish the book with strong feelings of gratitude for the amount and the variety of fictional entertainment it has provided.

The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : En 1698, cinco barcos liderados por el buque insignia Rising Sun se embarcaron en un peligroso viaje hacia la costa norte de lo que hoy es Panamá, donde los 2.000 pasajeros pretendían establecer un asentamiento en Darién. Con ellos iban las esperanzas y fortunas de la nación de Escocia, que buscaba construir una colonia de ultramar para poder competir por fin en el escenario mundial con su rival Inglaterra. Solo 300 hombres regresarían con vida. Esta es la historia de su trágica misión, que destrozó un sueño de imperio y llevó a la bancarrota a una nación.
