Synopsis

¿Puede un libro ser investigado policialmente como si de un crimen se tratara? Lucas Corso, mercenario de la bibliofilia, cazador de libros por cuenta ajena, se enfrenta a esa pregunta cuando recibe un doble encargo de sus clientes: autentificar un manuscrito de Los tres mosqueteros y descifrar el enigma de un extraño libro, quemado en 1667 con el hombre que lo imprimió. La peligrosa indagación le llevará de los archivos del Santo Oficio a los libros condenados, de las polvorientas librerías de viejo a las más selectas bibliotecas de los coleccionistas internacionales.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLucas Corso, an authority on rare books, makes his living tracking down valuable items for rich bibliophiles. His latest assignment, deciphering the mystery of a 17th century book that legend has was co-written by Satan, a book for which only three copies are known to exist, has become a very dangerous adventure. As if this weren’t enough, a handwritten chapter of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers comes into play. The stories intermingle and result in a page-turning thriller distinctive of Perez Reverte’s writing. The book was taken to the big screen in a movie titled The Ninth Gate by renowned director Roman Polanski..

Review

Fallen angels, satanic manuals, and a passion for the works of Raphael Sabatini and Alexandre Dumas among others--this is the stuff of Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte's engrossing novel The Club Dumas. Set in a world of antiquarian booksellers where dealers would gladly betray their own mothers to get their hands on a rare volume, The Club Dumas is a thinking person's thriller: in addition to a riveting plot, the book is full of intriguing details that range from the working habits of Alexandre Dumas to how one might go about forging a 17th-century text. Woven through these meditations is enough murder, sex, and the occult to keep both the hero, Lucas Corso, and the reader hopping.

As in his previous novel, The Flanders Panel, set in the world of art restoration, Mr. Pérez-Reverte has written a literary thriller to tease both the intellect and adrenaline gland. Lucas Corso makes a complex, ultimately sympathetic hero, and there's plenty to delight in the intricate twists and turns the story takes before the mystery of The Club Dumas is finally solved.

From the Publisher

Club Dumas is a mystery novel at its most excellent stage. A film was also made with much critical success.

Condition: Bueno. : La gran novela de Arturo Pérez-Reverte que abrió el camino del éxito internacional a los thrillers inspirados en el mundo de los libros ¿Puede un libro ser investigado policialmente como si de un crimen se tratara, utilizando como pistas sus páginas, papel, grabados y marcas de impresión, en un apasionante recorrido de tres siglos? Lucas Corso, mercenario de la bibliofilia, cazador de libros por cuenta ajena, debe encontrar respuesta a esa pregunta cuando recibe un doble encargo de sus clientes: autentificar un manuscrito de Los tres mosqueteros y descifrar el enigma de un extraño libro, quemado en 1667 con el hombre que lo imprimió. La indagación arrastra a Corso -y con él, irremediablemente, al lector- a una peligrosa búsqueda que lo llevará de los archivos del Santo Oficio a los libros condenados, de las polvorientas librerías de viejo a las más selectas bibliotecas de los coleccionistas internacionales. Construida con excepcional talento narrativo, El club Dumas sitúa pieza a pieza una trama excitante, minuciosa y compleja, donde se dan cita los ingredientes de la novela clásica por entregas, los relatos policíacos y de misterio, los juegos de adivinación y las técnicas del folletín de aventuras. Esta novela fue llevada al cine por el director Roman Polanski con el título La novena puerta. La crítica ha dicho. «Un auténtico thriller, una trama maravillosamente compleja.» The New York Times Book Review «Entre El nombre de la rosa, el juego de rol y Agatha Christie.» L'Express «Hay un escritor español que se parece al mejor Spielberg más Umberto Eco. Se llama Arturo Pérez-Reverte.» La Repubblica «Ni el lector más perspicaz podría anticiparse a las electrizantes sorpresas de este misterio elegante como un Escher.» The New Yorker «El español Pérez-Reverte camina gallardamente sobre las huellas del gran Alejandro Dumas haciendo malabarismos con los personajes, multiplicando pistas falsas e intrigantes misterios.» Bertand Audusse, Le Monde EAN: 9788466320702 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y ficción|Ficción por género Título: El Club Dumas Autor: ARTURO PÉREZ-REVERTE Editorial: PUNTO DE LECTURA; 2nd ed. edición (28 agosto 2007) Idioma: ES Páginas: 464 Formato: Tapa dura Peso: 291 Año de publicación: 2007.
