#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. “A tour de force of narrative nonfiction.” —The Wall Street Journal On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then … six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang. The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.

Del redactor de The New Yorker, David Grann, best-seller #1 del New York Times y autor de The Lost City of Z, nos llega esta retorcida y evocadora historia de misterio y asesinatos sobre uno de los crímenes más monstruosos de la historia estadounidense. En la década de 1920, las personas más ricas per cápita del mundo eran los miembros de la Nación Osage en Oklahoma. Después de que se descubriera petróleo bajo sus tierras, comenzaron a tener automóviles con chofer, a construir mansiones y a enviar a sus hijos a estudiar a Europa. Entonces, los Osage comenzaron a ser exterminados, uno por uno. El blanco principal era la familia de una mujer Osage llamada Mollie Burkhart. Sus parientes fueron envenenados o muertos a tiros. Pero aquello fue tan solo el principio. Cada vez más miembros de la tribu morían bajo misteriosas circunstancias. En este último remanente del Lejano Oeste –donde petroleros como J. P. Getty hicieron sus fortunas y donde deambulaban bandidos como Al Spencer, “el terror fantasma”–muchos de los que se atrevían a investigar aquellos asesinatos también terminaban muertos. Cuando la cuota de muertes ascendió a más de veinticuatro, el FBI tomó las riendas del caso. Se trataba de una de las primeras y más importantes investigaciones de homicidio de la organización y la oficina la echó a perder. Desesperado, el joven director, J. Edgar Hoover, acude a un antiguo ranger de Texas llamado Tom White para descifrar el misterio. White creó un equipo encubierto, que incluía a uno de los únicos agentes nativo-americanos. Los agentes infiltraron la región, luchando por adoptar las últimas técnicas de detección. Junto a los Osage, comenzaron a exponer una de las conspiraciones más escalofriantes de la historia estadounidense. En Los asesinos de la luna de las flores, David Grann revisita una impactante serie de crímenes en la que docenas de personas fueron asesinadas a sangre fría. Basado en años de investigación y en alarmantes nuevas evidencias, este libro es una obra maestra de la narrativa de no-ficción, pues cada paso de la investigación revela una serie de siniestros secretos y percances. Pero, sobre todo, es una denuncia mordaz a la brutalidad y a la discriminación contra los indios americanos, factores que permitieron que crímenes como estos se cometieran impunemente por tanto tiempo. Los asesinos de la luna de las flores es una historia totalmente cautivadora, aunque también emocionalmente devastadora.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a powerful true story of adventure and obsession in the Antarctic, lavishly illustrated with color photographs. Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honor and sacrifice. He was also a man obsessed. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the nineteenth-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole, and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death, and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. He was related to one of Shackleton”s men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artifacts from their epic treks across the continent. He modeled his military command on Shackleton”s legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He would succeed where Shackleton had failed, in the most brutal landscape in the world. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton”s crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape, life-threatening physical exhaustion, and hidden crevasses. Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 13, 2015, at age 55, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone. David Grann tells Worsley”s remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called “simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today.” Illustrated with more than fifty stunning photographs from Worsley”s and Shackleton”s journeys, The White Darkness is both a gorgeous keepsake volume and a spellbinding story of courage, love, and a man pushing himself to the extremes of human capacity.
