Description: The Spanish language edition of 'William Kirkpatrick of Malaga: Consul, Negociant and Entrepreneur, and Grandfather of the Empress Eugenie' (ISBN 9781845300715).
Synopsis: El presente estudio sobre William Kirkpatrick de Malaga viene a poner de manifiesto y dar a conocer, por vez primera, la figura y obra de un hombre verdaderamente excepcional, mencionado unicamente hasta ahora en las numerosas biografias de su famosa nieta la emperatriz Eugenia. Como consul de los Estados Unidos en Malaga entre 1800 y 1817, William Kirkpatrick paso por ser un firme defensor de la implicacion directa de la marina estadounidense en la lucha contra los corsarios de berberia. Nuevas fuentes historicas profundizan en su labor consular, sus empresas comerciales y sus importantes conexiones europeas y americanas. Lo que vendria a demostrar que los Kirkpatricks de Dumfriesshire, establecidos en Espana en la decada de 1730, conformaron una de las grandes familias pioneras del comercio internacional. Siempre en estrecha relacion con familias similares de todo el Viejo Continente, los Kirkpatricks revolucionaron el comercio y la industria en el sur de Espana, llegando incluso a ser participes en la introduccion de la vid en Australia.La familia Kirkpatrick acaparo toda la atencion del Viejo Continente cuando Eugenia, apoyada por su madre, la singular Maria Manuela, condesa de Montijo, concerto un espectacular matrimonio con Napoleon III para convertirse en emperatriz regente de Francia, confidente de la reina Victoria y figura iconica de la Europa decimononica.
