Annie, Lady Brassey (1839-1887) was an English travel writer and philanthropist best known for her vivid accounts of ocean journeys undertaken with her family. Her husband was a Civil Lord of the Admiralty who made many ocean voyages by steam yacht to test this new technology. Annie Brassey's description of these travels led to her becoming a best-selling author. This volume, first published in 1878, contains her lively and detailed account of her family's circumnavigation in the Sunbeam, the first circumnavigation of the world by a steam yacht. Written in the form of a diary and based on letters sent to her father, this volume mixes exotic descriptions with lively accounts of domestic life on board, and was immensely popular. The book illustrates the attitudes of middle-class Victorians to exotic locations and cultures. For more information on this author, see http://orlando.cambridge.org/public/svPeople?person_id=brasan

El nombre de Annie Brassey estará siempre asociado al del mar, a los destinos trazados como constelaciones, a las interminables esperas en los puertos, a las noches al raso, a la lluvia de estrellas y al brillo de los faros en la lejanía… Pasajera de la vida, tránsfuga de los convencionalismos, estuvo, como la diosa Anfítrife, esposa de Neptuno, destinada al océano.Las travesías formaron parte de la vida de esta escritora y filántropa inglesa que pasó la mayor parte de su existencia navegando, y arrastrando a su familia (esposo y 5 hijos) en sus aventuras viajeras.En 1874, surcó el Mediterráneo y dos años después, ya a bordo de su propio barco, el "Sunbeam", inició una travesía de un año alrededor del mundo, que les llevó a recorrer entre otros destinos Sudamérica, Japón, China, Singapur y Ceilán durante 11 meses. Fruto de este viaje, publicó el libro: The Voyage in the Sunbeam, our Home on the Ocean for Eleven Months, que obtuvo varias ediciones y fue traducido a 5 idiomas.140 años después de ser publicado, por fin se traduce al español esta obra, referente de los viajes del pasado, escrita en forma de diario y con una acertada mezcla de descripciones exóticas y relatos de la vida doméstica a bordo del magnífico y hermoso Sunbeam.
