Un d'Artagnan quichottesque que l'auteur fera caracoler durant six livres en redonnant vie au roman de cape et d'epee, le premier se situe en 1620 a Madrid. [SDM].
Wounded seventeenth-century Spanish soldier Alatriste works as a swordsman-for-hire in Madrid, but when his latest job takes an unexpectedly deadly turn, he realizes he is in the employ of one of the Spanish Inquisition's most dangerous figures.
Diego Alatriste es un espadachín peligroso y corrupto del Siglo 17 Español, donde se solicitan sus servicios para saldar deudas o restaurar la reputación de la familia. Cuando es herido en batalla durante la Guerra de los Treinta Años, se ve obligado a retirarse del ejército. Ahora vive una vida relativamente tranquila de espadachín a sueldo en el Madrid. Cuando es contratado por la Santa Inquisición para matar a dos viajeros misteriosos, huéspedes del embajador británico, él sabe que está en serios problemas.
In early 17th century Spain Captain Diego Alatriste spares the life of the two Englishmen he is hired to kill by the president of the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition and sets in motion a series of events affecting the courts of Europe.
Captain Alatriste is the story of a fictional seventeenth-century Spanish soldier who, after being wounded in battle during the Thirty Years' War, is forced to retire from the army. Now he lives the comparatively tame-though hardly quiet-life of a swordsman-for-hire in Madrid. Approached with an offer of work, Alatriste is told to go with another hired blade to an unfamiliar part of the city at midnight and wait. They are received by men who explain that they want Alatriste and his companion to ambush two travelers the following evening, stage a robbery, and give the men a fright. "No blood, "they are told. But then a third figure enters the room. He says the job requires some clarification: he increases the pay, and tells them that, instead, they must murder the two travelers. Then he reveals his identity: Emilio Bocanegra. It is a name synonymous with the Spanish Inquisition, the bloodiest name in Europe. This is a man whose requests cannot be denied. But the following night, with the attack imminent, it becomes clear to Alatriste that these aren't ordinary travelers. And what happens next is only the first in a series of riveting twists and turns, with implications that will reverberate throughout the courts of Europe.
