About the Book

De tous les héros dont les exploits ont enflammé l'histoire britannique, il n'en est pas un qui soit passé dans la légende aussi vite que Francis Drake. Il n'était pas encore mort que sa vie déjà était un mythe. De son berceau à sa tombe, l'histoire de ce roi des mers est une longue suite d'exploits extravagants.

Marchand, navigateur, explorateur, un peu pirate, corsaire diront les Anglais, amiral de Sa Majesté la reine Élisabeth Ire, marin sûr et guerrier intrépide, Francis Drake, né vers 1540, mort en 1596, est l'un des grands héros de l'Angleterre des Tudor, champion protestant face à l'impérialisme catholique espagnol. Second capitaine à avoir effectué la circumnavigation de la Terre, après Magellan (et premier à être rentré vivant), artisan de la défaite de l'Invincible Armada, son histoire a inspiré de nombreux navigateurs et écrivains britanniques, entretenant jusqu'à aujourd'hui sa légende dans le roman national britannique.

Sir Julian Corbett, né le 12 novembre 1854, mort, le 21 septembre 1922, était un éminent historien naval britannique et géostratégiste, dont les travaux ont contribué à façonner les réformes de la Royal Navy de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle.

Fin connaisseur de Drake et de la Marine Tudor, il écrivit cet ouvrage pour un public anglais, plus familier de son histoire que les lecteurs français auxquels nous destinons aujourd'hui cette traduction. Nous avons donc profité de cette première édition française pour l'augmenter de cartes, d'illustrations, de notices biographiques, ainsi que d'une brève chronologie de cette période, afin d'en agrémenter et faciliter la lecture.

Cette traduction vise à combler un manque étonnant dans la littérature historique de langue française: jusqu'à maintenant, il n'existait pas d'ouvrage sur cet homme exceptionnel, dont les exploits n'ont rien à envier à nos plus grands héros. Puisse cet ouvrage le faire découvrir - et peut-être admirer - à ses nouveaux lecteurs.
