El mar de los hombres libres is one of those books that covers everything we want to find in a good historical novel: concrete facts with real characters, wars and revolutions, adventures, love... Narrated with great delicacy and elegance, in addition to impeccable prose and good documentation, Andrés Vidal performs the wonder of creating a complete and perfect novel where he will also surprise us with an unexpected gift that will make the reader avid for 'something else' see their wishes fulfilled.

We loved it. We have finished reading excited and convinced that we have read not only a solid, well-structured story with an agile and dynamic story, but also that we have read a narrative that has appeared to us as an illuminating tale about life.
