Synopsis

El libro de Arturo Pérez-Reverte en el que se basa la nueva serie de televisión

Acción, historia y aventura se dan cita como un torbellino en las inolvidables páginas de la primera novela de la serie, que comienza cuando Alatriste acepta un peligroso encargo.

«No era el hombre más honesto ni el más piadoso, pero era un hombre valiente...»
Con estas palabras empieza El capitán Alatriste, la historia de un soldado veterano de los tercios de Flandes que malvive como espadachín a sueldo en el Madrid del siglo XVII. Sus aventuras peligrosas y apasionantes nos sumergen sin aliento en las intrigas de la Corte de una España corrupta y en decadencia, las emboscadas en callejones oscuros entre el brillo de dos aceros, las tabernas donde Francisco de Quevedo compone sonetos entre pendencias y botellas de vino, o los corrales de comedias donde las representaciones de Lope de Vega terminan a cuchilladas. Todo ello de la mano de personajesentrañables o fascinantes: el joven Íñigo Balboa, el impecable inquisidor fray Emilio Bocanegra, el peligroso asesino Gualterio Malatesta, o el diabólico secretario del rey, Luis de Alquézar.

La crítica ha dicho...
«Arturo Pérez-Reverte, entre cuyas obras anteriores cabe destacar La Reina del Sur, ha creado a Alatriste con un afecto evidente. El autor comparte con el espadachín un indudable talento. El capitán Alatriste está escrito con brillantez y un contagioso entusiasmo hacia el género que intenta revivir...»
Janet Maslin, The New York Times

«...tenemos como resultado una novela fascinante, que agarra nada más empezar y sujeta hasta su última página. ... la novela me ha subyugado con tanta fuerza que la vista se adelantaba al texto porque el corazón estaba en suspenso o se aceleraba a causa de los azarosos sucesos que pasaban en el papel.»
Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Mundo

«Digámoslo claro: nunca seagradecerá bastante a Reverte haber hecho entrar a tantos lectores en esa literatura y esa historia cautivándolos con unas narraciones apasionantes y, por la fascinación que produce el héroe, implicándolos como coprotagonistas.»
Francisco Rico

«Con mayor intensidad que en otras entregas anteriores, el estilo recrea la lengua del Siglo de Oro, con su léxico, modismos y frases hechas, numerosos versos e incluso algunas voces de germanía, todo ello bien integrado en un texto de suma eficacia narrativa.»
Ángel Basanta

«Su sabiduría narrativa, tan bien construida siempre, tan exhaustivamente detallada, documentada y estructurada, hasta el punto de que, frente a todo ello, la historia real resulta más endeble y a veces hasta tópica.»
Rafael Conte
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Diego Alatriste is a swordsman in a dangerous and corrupt seventeenth-century Spain, where his services are requested to settle debts or restore a family's reputation. When he is hired by the Holy Inquisition to kill two mysterious travelers, guests of the British ambassador, he knows he is in serious trouble. A hard-to-put-down story.
