Sobre este artículo
London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2006. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Translated from the Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden. A woman has been found dead in a sedan chair in front of a church, strangled, in her hand a pouch containing fifty escudos and a handwritten, unsigned, note bearing the words 'For masses for her soul'. Chief Constable Martin Saldana confides in his old friend and comrade in arms, Captain Diego Alatriste. Alatriste must rescue the daughter of his poet friend's acquaintance from a convent where two priests are seducing the young women in their charge, but these priests enjoy the protection of the Inquisition who call into question the daughter's purity of blood. A dangerous mission which will bring the Captain once more face to face with his mortal enemy, Gualterio Malatesta. L. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
The second swashbuckling adventure in the internationally acclaimed Captain Alatriste series Captain Alatriste, Madrid’s most charismatic swashbuckler, returns in Perez-Reverte’s acclaimed international bestseller. The fearless Alatriste is hired to infiltrate a convent and rescue a young girl forced to serve as a powerful priest’s concubine. The girl’s father is barred from legal recourse as the priest threatens to reveal that the man’s family is “not of pure blood” and is, in fact, of Jewish descent—which will all but destroy the family name. As Alatriste struggles to save the young hostage from being burned at the stake, he soon finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the heart of the Spanish Inquisition. A literary thriller that delivers adventure and rich historical detail, Purity of Blood captivates to the final page.
