Captain Alatriste

Resumen del libro

Captain Alatriste is the first of five books, all huge bestsellers in Spain, with two more projected. The Adventures of Alatriste is a series of magnificent novels about a fictional seventeeth-century Spanish swordsman. A soldier in the Thirty Year's War, he has been forced to retire due to a wound received in battle. Now he lives the comparitively tame (though hardly quiet) life of a swordsman for hire in Madrid. Work is scarce, as so many soldiers have recently been released from duty, and for all of them, this is the only source of income. As CAPTAIN ALATRISTE opens, he has just been released from debtor's prison, and is forced to accept a job that seems simple enough... but unbeknownst to him will have consequences that could change the course of European history.
