The book features an annotated translation of Pedro de Rada's chronicle, documenting Spain's Armada of the Strait, led by Don Diego Flores de Valdés from 1581 to 1584. Rada, as the official scribe, provides a detailed and neutral account of the expedition to Brazil and the Strait of Magellan. This historical narrative, previously kept private for centuries, offers unique insights into the maritime ventures of the era and the challenges faced by the armada.
