Description

xxix + 352 pp., hardbound with coloured DJ, with texts and numerous coloured illustrations, ISBN: 978-84-122212-2-0.

Spanish language. The publication aims to value the Spanish presence in the Moluccas during the Modern Age. This project was coordinated by the Aula Cervantes de Jakarta together with the Embassy of Spain in Indonesia, and is published in collaboration with Editorial Desperta-Ferro and AECID. The leading experts on the subject contribute to the book, with many graphics, engravings and historical cartography. This publication marks a milestone for Hispanicism in Indonesia, since it sheds light on one of the most fascinating, but least well-known, episodes of the Spanish presence in Southeast Asia, from the first circumnavigation of the planet to the final abandonment of the last Moluccan forts in the second half of the 17th century (1663). This book is a collective work edited by Javier Serrano Avilés (Aula Cervantes de Jakarta) and Jorge Mojarro (University of Santo Tomas, Manila), with the historical advice of Antonio C. Campo López (UNED), María Prada González (Embassy of Spain in Jakarta) coordinating illustrations and Thomas Suárez responsible for historical cartography. The list of Spanish and Indonesian authors is completed by José Eugenio Borao Mateo (National Taiwan University), Nurachman Iriyanto (Khairun University, Ternate), Bondan Kanumoyoso (University of Indonesia, Jakarta), Marco Ramerini (www.colonialvoyage.com), Jean-Noël Sánchez Pons (University of Strasbourg), Cayetano Sánchez Fuertes and Kukuh Sanyoto.
