Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Flanders, 1625. After his tussles with the Inquisition and the intrigue of the Spanish court, Captain Alatriste has returned to the mud and desperation of the long war in Flanders. This is Inigo's first experience of war and the realities of hand to hand combat. It is on the battlefield that he will finally have the chance to become a man and prove his worth. The troops are weary and ill-nourished and the winter has been long. As Spain sinks ever further into depravity and corruption, the soldiers have not been paid and must survive by whatever ways they can. Mutiny is in the air, on the lips of every Spaniard but they are strong and their famous iron discipline has brought them many victories against the Calvinist forces of the heretics. Reputation, honour, and the glory of Spain will keep them in the fight, but for how long? Meanwhile, the Captain's trusted friend Quevedo's star is rising at court and he keeps Alatriste appraised of the machinations of his arch-enemy Luis de Alquezar and the notorious assassin with the black heart, Gualterio Malatesta. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR003629886

(Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'In his hard-boiled, mordantly funny, unapologetically entertaining Captain Alatriste series, Pérez-Reverte finally buckles his swash and swaggers into the muddy, bloody streets of 17th-century Madrid' - Time (Review quote taken from the back panel) ***'The novel is set around the Siege of Breda during the Eighty Years' War. Diego Alatriste and his teenage ward Iñigo Balboa fight in the Spanish army to suppress the Calvinist uprising in the Low Countries and become involved in intrigues. Iñigo encounters the writer Pedro Calderón de la Barca and helps him rescue books from a burning library, and provides details that the painter Diego Velázquez uses in The Surrender of Breda. The Eighty Years' War or Dutch Revolt (Dutch: Nederlandse Opstand) (c. 1566/1568 -1648) was an armed conflict in the Habsburg Netherlands between disparate groups of rebels and the Spanish government. The causes of the war included the Reformation, centralisation, excessive taxation, and the rights and privileges of the Dutch nobility and cities. After the initial stages, Philip II of Spain, the sovereign of the Netherlands, deployed his armies and regained control over most of the rebel-held territories. However, widespread mutinies in the Spanish army caused a general uprising. Under the leadership of the exiled William the Silent, the Catholic and Protestant-dominated provinces sought to establish religious peace while jointly opposing the king's regime with the Pacification of Ghent, but the general rebellion failed to sustain itself.'
