The cavalier in the yellow doublet

The fifth novel in the adventures of Captain Alatriste, a seventeenth-century swashbuckler and "a twenty-first-century literary phenomenon." (Entertainment Weekly) In the cosmopolitan world of seventeenth-century Madrid, captain Alatriste and his prot?g? ??igo are fish out of water. But the king is determined to keep Alatriste on retainer-regardless of whether his "employment" brings the captain uncomfortably close to old enemies. Alatriste begins an affair with the famous and beautiful actress, Mar?a Castro, but soon discovers that the cost of her favors may be more than he bargained for-especially when he and ??igo become unwilling participants in a court conspiracy that could lead them both to the gallows . . .

  • "Don Francisco de Quevedo me dirigió una mirada que interpreté como era debido, pues fui detrás del capitán Alatriste. Avísame si hay problemas, habían dicho sus ojos tras los lentes quevedescos. Dos aceros hacen más papel que uno. Y así, consciente de mi responsabilidad, acomodé la daga de misericordia que llevaba atravesada al cinto y fui en pos de mi amo, discreto como un ratón, confiando en que esta vez pudiéramos terminar la comedia sin estocadas y en paz, pues habría sido bellaca afrenta estropearle el estreno a Tirso de Molina. Yo estaba lejos de imaginar hasta qué punto la bellísima actriz María de Castro iba a complicar mi vida y la del capitán, poniéndonos a ambos en gravísimo peligro; por no hablar de la corona del rey Felipe IV, que esos días anduvo literalmente al filo de una espada. Todo lo cual me propongo contar en esta nueva aventura, probando así que no hay locura a la que el hombre no llegue, abismo al que no se asome, y lance que el diablo no aproveche cuando hay mujer hermosa de por medio."@es
