Captain Alatriste
Original title: El capitán Alatriste
Synopsis
"He was not the most honest man or the most pious, but he was a brave man..." With these words begins Captain Alatriste, the story of a veteran soldier of the third of Flanders who mallives as a paid swordsman in the 17th century Madrid. His dangerous and exciting adventures are breathless in the intrigues of the Court of a corrupt and decadent Spain, the ambushed in dark alleys between the glow of two steels, the taverns where Francisco de Quevedo makes up sonnets between pendences and wine bottles, or the corrals of comedias where Lope de Vega's representations end with spoilt. All this from the hand of enchanting or fascinating characters: the young Iñigo Balboa, the unbeatable inquisitor Fra Emilio Bocanegra, the dangerous killer Gualterio Malatesta, or the diabolical secretary of the king, Luis de Alquézar. Action, history and adventure are gathered on these unforgettable pages.
