L'armada - Des navires et des hommes #[nn]

A striking juxtaposition of sail and steel defines this handsome volume from Éditions Petit à Petit — the cover places a towering tall ship, its great white sails billowing against a dramatic sky, at the fore, while modern naval vessels cut through the grey-green water behind it. L'Armada — Des navires et des hommes promises a sweeping celebration of seafaring across the ages, bridging centuries of maritime history between a single set of covers. At 15,90 EUR, it's an inviting pick for anyone drawn to the romance and power of ships under sail and steam alike.
