| Summary | "Ein Drama in Mexico" by Jules Verne is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book narrates events surrounding the early days of the Mexican Navy, particularly focusing on the revolt of a Spanish ship's crew and the resulting power struggles in the context of Mexico's independence. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Moros Archipelago, where the ships "Asia" and "Constanzia" plot their rebellion under the leadership of Lieutenant Martinez amidst unrest among the crews. As the plot thickens, Martinez leads a successful mutiny, kills the ship's captain, and sails to Mexico to offer the ships to the Mexican Confederation. Alongside him are two key figures, aspiring officer Pablo and the loyal boatswain Jacopo, who ultimately seek to avenge their captain's death by confronting Martinez. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, treachery, and national identity, culminating in the establishment of the Mexican Navy as a product of both betrayal and valor within its ranks. Throughout the tale, Verne weaves significant historical context, providing insights into the struggles faced by Mexico during its early independence period.
