Title : The Adventures of Captain Alatriste - Arturo Pérez-Reverte - book
Summary :
Captain Alatriste is the story of a former Spanish soldier, a veteran of the Flanders War, a swordsman in the pay of nobles or wealthy hidalgos. His adventures take us into the intrigues of the court of Philip IV, king of a corrupt and decadent Spain, into the dark alleys of Madrid, into the taverns where Francisco de Quevedo composes sonnets, and into the theaters where Lope de Vega's comedies end in skirmishes. The young Inigo de Balboa, the implacable Inquisitor Emilio Bocanegra, the assassin Gualterio Malatesta, and the king's diabolical secretary, Luis de Alquézar, are some of the unforgettable characters in these adventures, where the action, thanks to a flamboyant pen, reconnects with the greatest tradition of the cloak and dagger novel.
