Abstract

The article tries to present Las aventuras de un piloto en el golfo de Guinea, a story considered unanimously by the little scholars who have cited it so far to be the first colonial novel about the Spanish possessions in the Gulf of Guinea. We present a summary of the work and the historical circumstances surrounding it (history of the island of Annobon and its Spanish colonization) and a hypothesis about the author, who published under the pseudonym Donacuige.
