Narnia… donde todo puede ocurrir, y casi siempre ocurre… donde comienza la aventura.
El Viajero del Alba es el primer barco que Narnia ha visto en siglos. El rey Caspian lo ha construido para su viaje en busca de los siete lores, hombres buenos a los que su malvado tío Miraz desterró cuando usurpó el trono. El viaje lleva a Edmund, Lucy, su primo Eustace y Caspian a las islas del este, más allá del Mar de Plata, hacia el país de Aslan en el Fin del Mundo.
Por primera vez, el lenguaje de los siete libros clásicos ha sido adaptado para el lector latinoamericano y editado para garantizar la coherencia de los nombres, personajes, lugares y acontecimientos dentro del universo de Narnia. Además, presentan las cubiertas e ilustraciones originales de Pauline Barnes.
Aunque forma parte de una saga, este es un libro independiente. Si quieres descubrir más sobre Narnia, puedes leer La silla de plata, el sexto libro de Las crónicas de Narnia.
The Voyage of The Dawn Treader
Narnia... where anything can happen, and almost always does... where adventure begins.
The Dawn Treader is the first ship Narnia has seen in centuries. King Caspian has built it for his voyage in search of the seven lords, good men whom his evil uncle Miraz banished when he usurped the throne. The journey takes Edmund, Lucy, their cousin Eustace and Caspian to the eastern islands beyond the Silver Sea, towards the country of Aslan at the End of the World.
For the first time, the language of the seven classic books has been adapted for the Latin American reader and edited to ensure consistency of names, characters, places and events within the Narnia universe. In addition, they feature the original covers and illustrations by Pauline Barnes.
Although it is part of a saga, this is a stand-alone book. If you want to discover more about Narnia, you can read The Silver Chair, the sixth book of The Chronicles of Narnia.

As always, I'll begin with the book and I have to say I was rather disappointed. This is a children's book but I had hoped for more. The story is just too easy. Whenever something bad happens, Aslan pops in and -boom- everything is fine. This was also the case in the last books but in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it really is extreme. It just make everything to simple. There is no real struggle.
Another point I notice by now is that some plot points seem like Lewis simply thought of different bits but didn't really know how to connect them. So in this case he just had the crew travel from island to island and on each one of them weird stuff is going on. And whenever Lewis couldn't think of a way to get the characters out of trouble of to make a link between two plot points, he simply sends in Aslan.
As you can tell, I'm not very fond of the book. It disappointed me all the way through and to be honest, the only reason I even finished reading is because it's -fortunately- very short.
However, the movie did a far better job. First of all, they changed quite a bit. Although I usually vote for sticking to the novels, in this case it added a lot to the story. Especially some parts of the story that were solved in a matter of seconds in the book made far more sense in the movie.
Furthermore, I love the special effects. All those Narnia creatures look like there are real. Awesome job! Another point I have to mention is that I enjoyed Ben Barnes far more as Caspian in the film than in the last one. His character finally behaves the way he should (whereas in the book he often ended up annoying me).
One more point I really liked about the adaptation is that the original illustrations from the book are featured in the end titles. So it's totally worth watching all the way to the end.
So all in all I have to say that in this case the movie is far better than the book. The novel is a rather shallow thing, that doesn't bear any surprises.
