En esta segunda entrega de Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste, en el azaroso Madrid de Felipe IV, entre lances e intrigas, la trama pondrá en juego la vida de los amigos del capitán, haciendo surgir del pasado los fantasmas de viejos enemigos A punto de incorporarse a su antiguo tercio en Flandes, Diego Alatriste se ve envuelto por mediación de su amigo don Francisco de Quevedo en otra peligrosa aventura. Una mujer ha aparecido estrangulada en una silla de manos frente a la iglesia de San Ginés, con una bolsa de dinero y una nota manuscrita: Para misas por su alma. El enigma se complica con los sucesos misteriosos que ocurren tras las paredes de un convento, cuando Alatriste es contratado para rescatar de allí a una joven novicia. En el azaroso y fascinante Madrid de Felipe IV, entre lances, tabernas, garitos, intrigas y estocadas, la aventura pondrá en juego la vida de los amigos del capitán, haciendo surgir del pasado los fantasmas de viejos enemigos: el pérfido secretario real Luis de Alquézar, el inquisidor fray Emilio Bocanegra y el siniestro espadachín italiano Gualterio Malatesta. La crítica ha dicho:«Excepcional. Demuestra lo entretenida y excitante que puede resultar una aventura histórica». Daily Express«Nos hace disfrutar de un juego inteligente entre historia y ficción». The Times «El argumento se mueve tan rápidamente como el anterior, pero Pérez-Reverte presta aquí más atención al tema del fanatismo religioso, ofreciendo intensas descripciones de la Inquisición y los autos de fe. Un espadachín de nuestro tiempo». Times Literary Supplement«El escritor |

con agallas ha conseguido un doble milagro. Que los personajes hablen como nosotros y nosotros leamos como ellos hablaban. Larga vida al capitán Alatriste».Manuel Rivas, El País«Nos encontramos ante un relato brillante, con un ritmo vertiginoso, que encantará a aquellos lectores que se hayan guardado un poco de candor y de curiosidad. Había que atreverse a decirlo, pero Arturo Pérez-Reverte es un escritor que manifiesta todas las audacias y que sabe echar sobre el pasado de su país una mirada sin indulgencia# La novela de Arturo Pérez-Reverte es fiel en todo momento a la verdad, reinventa con maestría la novela histórica y se nos hace la boca agua en espera de las futuras aventuras del capitán Alatriste». Albert Bensoussan, Magazine Littéraire ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A woman has been found strangled in front of a local church. On her lap, a bag full of coins and a note "For masses for her soul." In a nearby convent for young society ladies, the chaplain is having "unconventional" encounters with his novices. Capitán Alatriste will soon discover how these two facts are connected by an entangled net of power, faith, and death. |

This is a perfect one-country study: deeply engaged in the theoretical and comparative literature, intimately informed about South Korean history, bringing to bear some unknown aspects of the case. A major contribution to studies of authoritarianism and of transitions to democracy. -Adam Przeworski, Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor Emeritus, Department of Politics, New York University, USA This book analyses democratization and democracy in South Korea since 1960. The book starts with an analysis of the distinctive characteristics of bureaucratic authoritarianism and how democratic transition had been possible after inconclusive and protracted "tug of war" between authoritarian regime and democratic opposition. It then goes on to explore what the opportunities and constraints to the new democracy are to be a consolidated democracy, how new democracy had changed the industrial relations in the post-transition period, how premodern political culture such as Confucian patrimonialism and familism had obstructed democratic consolidation, and the improvement of quality of democracy. The author compares empirically, from the perspective of a comparative political scientist, political regime superiority of democracy over authoritarianism with regard to economic development. He concludes that "democratic incompetence" theory has been proven wrong and, in South Korea, democracy has performed better than authoritarian regimes in terms of economic growth with equity, employment, distribution of income, trade balance, and inflation. This book will benefit political scientists, development economists, labor economists, religious sociologists, military sociologists, and historians focusing on East Asian history. Hyug Baeg Im is a professor emeritus at Korea University and a chaired professor at GIST. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, USA. He served as an EC member of IPSA and received ROK National Academy of Sciences Prize. Prof. Im's recent publications includeThe Possibility of Peace in the Korean Peninsula (2017) and Mongering North Korean Democracy for Inter-Korean Peace (2015). |
