Book Descriptions:
Se me permitirá que antes de referir el gran suceso de que fui testigo, diga algunas palabras sobre mi infancia, explicando por qué extraña manera me llevaron los azares de la vida a presenciar la terrible catástrofe de nuestra marina. Al hablar de mi nacimiento, no imitaré a la mayor parte de los que cuentan hechos de su propia vida, quienes empiezan nombrando su parentela, las más veces noble, siempre hidalga por lo menos, si no se dicen descendientes del mismo Emperador de Trapisonda. Yo, en esta parte, no puedo adornar mi libro con sonoros apellidos; y fuera de mi madre, a quien conocí por poco tiempo, no tengo noticia de ninguno de mis ascendientes, si no es de Adán, cuyo parentesco me parece indiscutible. Doy principio, pues, a mi historia como Pablos, el buscón de Segovia: afortunadamente Dios ha querido que en esto sólo nos parezcamos. Yo nací en Cádiz, y en el famoso barrio de la Viña, que no es hoy, ni menos era entonces, academia de buenas costumbres. La memoria no me da luz alguna sobre mi persona y mis acciones en la niñez, sino desde la edad de seis años; y si recuerdo esta fecha, es porque la asocio a un suceso naval de que oí hablar entonces: el combate del cabo de San Vicente, acaecido en 1797. Dirigiendo una mirada hacia lo que fue, con la curiosidad y el interés propios de quien se observa, imagen confusa y borrosa, en el cuadro de las cosas pasadas, me veo jugando en la Caleta con otros chicos de mi edad poco más o menos. Aquello era para mí la vida entera; más aún, la vida normal de nuestra privilegiada especie; y los que no vivían como yo, me parecían seres excepcionales del humano linaje, pues en mi infantil inocencia y desconocimiento del mundo yo tenía la creencia de que el hombre había sido criado para la mar, habiéndole asignado la Providencia, como supremo ejercicio de su cuerpo, la natación, y como constante empleo de su espíritu el buscar y coger cangrejos, ya para arrancarles y vender sus estimadas bocas, que llaman de la Isla, ya para propia satisfacción y regalo, mezclando así lo agradable con lo útil
