El Capitán Veneno is a work by the Spanish author Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, set in Madrid in 1848. The story follows an army captain, known for his irascible character and conservative opinions, who is wounded and taken into the home of a young liberal woman and her family. As he recovers, his worldview begins to change, and an unexpected love story develops. This edition by Bruguera, belonging to the Todolibro collection, offers an illustrated version of the novel.
Pedro Antonio de Alarcón y Ariza was a nineteenth-century Spanish novelist, known best for his novel El sombrero de tres picos (1874), an adaptation of popular traditions which provides a description of village life in Alarcón's native region of Andalusia. It was the basis for Hugo Wolf's opera Der Corregidor (1897); for Riccardo Zandonai's opera La farsa amorosa (1933); and Manuel de Falla's ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (1919).
