Acción, historia y aventura se dan cita como un torbellino en las inolvidables páginas de esta primera novela de la serie «Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste», que comienza cuando el valeroso protagonista 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 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 personajes entrañables y fascinantes: el joven Íñigo Balboa, el implacable 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 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 se agradecerá lo 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

«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 que, frente a todo ello, la historia real resulta endeble y a veces hasta tópica.»

Rafael Conte

Al capitán Alatriste le cabe el honor de ser una de esas criaturas de ficción que han ingresado en el selecto club de los mitos literarios, aquellos personajes que gozan en el imaginario colectivo de una personalidad propia y de una vigencia intemporal. Todo un mérito, si tenemos en cuenta que a este club de élite pertenece solo otra media docena de miembros españoles, nada menos que de la influencia histórica y el prestigio cultural del Cid, la Celestina, don Juan o don Quijote.»

Alberto Montaner

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first action-packed adventure in the internationally acclaimed Captain Alatriste series, with Arturo Pérez-Reverte's most stunning creation to date.

Captain Alatriste is a Spanish soldier who lives as a swordsman-for-hire in seventeenth-century Madrid. Needing gold to pay off his debts, Alatriste and another hired blade are paid to ambush two travelers, stage a robbery, and give the travelers a fright. "No blood," they are told.

Then a mysterious stranger enters to clarify the job: he increases the pay, and tells Alatriste that, instead, he must murder the two travelers. When the attack unfolds, Alatriste realizes that these aren't ordinary travelers, and what happens next is only the first in a riveting series of twists and turns, with implications that will reverberate throughout the courts of Europe.

Beautiful and works great.
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot
I decided to try this because my old umbrella had seen better days and it was time to replace it. I am very pleased with the quality and the ease of assembly with this umbrella. It’s very sturdy and I like the quality of the fabric and the metal. It’s very easy to open and close and it makes my patio look great. It gives me the perfect amount of shade and the fabric thickness is perfect at keeping the harsh sunbeams from getting through. I also think the price is great for what you get. I would definitely recommend this umbrella because it’s made well and works well. It’s also very easy to clean. I just use my garden hose and spray it down and let it air dry. It also fit perfectly in the stand I already had and it works great. I am very happy I got to try this out.

Great replacement patio table umbrella.
Color: Tan, Size: 10 Foot
After a windstorm destroyed my old umbrella on our patio set, I was looking for a new one that wouldn't break the bank but also held up to the direct sun of the summer months. This umbrella did not disappoint! The material part of the umbrella top seems like it is nice and thick and the stitching is overlapped in the corners which should provide a lot of strength for the windy days. I really like the neutral colors of the fabric, as that will go well with the rest of my outdoor furniture. The medal pole portion is perfectly straight and the pivot point connection seems nice and tight. I would think that this umbrella will stand the test of time. No assembly needed, just pull it out of the box and extend the fabric.

Incorrect height shown in listing image.
Color: Tan, Size: 9 Foot
I purchased these for their tall height to go in the ground, but they are too short and I hit my head on them. The height shown in Amazon's pictures does not match the actual height for the 9- and 10-foot umbrella. The heights are something more like 90-95 inches rather than the 108 and 120 inches indicated. The 9- and 10-foot umbrella description seems to refer to the diameter of the umbrella instead. I have returned them, but Amazon has not yet corrected the listing.

First use was great!
I've used it just the one time today. I had previously "edged" with a string weedwhacker, so while the grass was cut back some, there wasn't a trench dug out. I did a gentle push and pull, taking on about 18" at a time to get a new trench dug next to the sidewalk edge. It did a great job! The entire unit was much heavier and sturdy looking than I was afraid it would be for the price, so pleasantly surprised. Assembly wasn't complicated, but it did take two of us to hold it steady because getting the screws to seat in the square hole and not have the cord in the way was a bit tricky. I'm a 70+ lady, not large and not athletic, but I was able to handle this edger with ease. Now, to see how long it lasts!
