Summary

Todo Alatriste reúne por primera vez en un solo volumen las siete novelas que componen la aclamada serie de Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste. «No era el hombre más honesto ni el más piadoso, pero era un hombre valiente...»

 Con esta frase ya legendaria, Arturo Pérez-Reverte daba comienzo, hace veinte años, a la primera de las novelas protagonizadas por el capitán Alatriste, un soldado veterano de los tercios de Flandes que malvive como espadachín en el Madrid del siglo XVII. Sus aventuras constituyen uno de los grandes hitos de la historia editorial reciente en lengua española: la serie, compuesta por siete novelas, ha vendido millones de libros en todo el mundo, ha inspirado cómics, películas, obras de teatro, series televisivas y juegos de rol, y con ella han crecido como lectores miles de jóvenes. Todo Alatriste reúne por primera vez en un solo volumen las siete novelas que componen la serie: El capitán Alatriste, Limpieza de sangre, El sol de Breda, El oro del rey, El caballero del jubón amarillo, Corsarios de Levante y El puente de los Asesinos. Incluye, además, un prólogo del autor sobre la trayectoria del personaje, una introducción del catedrático español Alberto Montaner, y la biografía del capitán Alatriste. Con esta edición especial, firmada por su autor, Alfaguara rinde homenaje al que es, sin duda, el gran personaje de la literatura contemporánea en español.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Complete Captain Alatriste brings together for the first time in a single volume the seven novels that make up the acclaimed series The Adventures of Captain Alatriste. "He was not the most honest man nor the most pious, but he was a brave man..."

With this already legendary phrase, Arturo Pérez-Reverte began, twenty years ago, the first of the novels starring Captain Alatriste, a veteran soldier of the tercios of Flanders who lives as a swordsman in seventeenth-century Madrid. His adventures constitute one of the great milestones in recent Spanish-language publishing history: the series, made up of seven novels, has sold millions of books around the world, has inspired comics, films,plays, television series and role playing games, and with it thousands of young people have grown up as readers. The Complete Captain Alatriste brings together for the first time in a single volume the seven novels that make up the series: Captain Alatriste, Purity of Blood, The Sun Over Breda, The King's Gold, The Cavalier in the Yellow Doublet, Pirates of the Levant and The Bridge of the Assassins. It also includes a prologue by the author on the trajectory of the character, an introduction by Spanish professor Alberto Montaner, and the biography of Captain Alatriste. With this special edition, signed by the author, Alfaguara pays tribute to the one who is, without a doubt, the great character of contemporary Spanish literature.

Review:

"A beautiful book, with a very timely introduction full of bibliography that makes us want more and helps us to better understand this series." José Belmonte, Ababol
