«Le soleil de Breda» is the historical novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte published by Seuil in paperback (290 pages, in French).
Íñigo de Balboa, a servant of Captain Alatriste in the Spanish tercios, takes part in combat for the first time during the siege of Breda (1625). His account recreates the war in Flanders, the mutinies over unpaid wages and the surrender of the town to Ambrosio Spínola; years later, his memories will inspire Velázquez's painting.
Third instalment of the saga «Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste». The Spanish original, «El sol de Breda», appeared in 1998; this 2000 edition belongs to the Points collection.
For readers of historical and swashbuckling fiction, particularly those interested in the Spanish Golden Age and the war in Flanders.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
