En esta tercera entrega de «Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste» se escenifican las batallas y el asedio de la ciudad de Breda en 1625 por los tercios españoles en Flandes.
Flandes, 1625. Alistado como mochilero del capitán Alatriste en los tercios viejos que asedian Breda, Íñigo Balboa es testigo excepcional de la rendición de la ciudad, cuyos pormenores narrará diez años más tarde para un cuadro famoso de su amigo Diego Velázquez. Siguiendo a su amo por el paisaje pintado al fondo de ese cuadro, al otro lado del bosque de lanzas, veremos a Íñigo empuñar por primera vez la espada y el arcabuz, peleando por su vida y la de sus amigos. Estocadas, asaltos, batallas, desafíos, encamisadas, saqueos y motines de la infantería española, jalonarán su camino a través de un mundo devastado por el invierno y por la guerra.
«Al lento batir de los tambores, las primeras filas de españoles movíanse hacia adelante, y Diego Alatriste avanzaba con ellas, codo a codo con sus camaradas, ordenados y soberbios como si desfilaran ante el propio rey. Los mismos hombres amotinados días antes por sus pagas iban ahora dientes prietos, mostachos enhiestos y cerradas barbas, andrajos cubiertos por cuero engrasado y armas relucientes, fijos los ojos en el enemigo, impávidos y terribles, dejando tras de sí la humareda de sus cuerdas de arcabuz encendidas...»

In this third volume of the Alatriste series, Captain Alatriste and his young ward Inigo Balboa are back in the army. Alatriste has left Madrid and its intrigues behind, to resume his life as an old soldier in the battlefields of Flanders. A stupid, meaningless, soul-sapping war that was ultimately doomed to failure. A war for the Catholic faith against the heretics (i.e. protestants). A war for king and country--but why??Author Perez-Reverte describes the life (and death) of these soldiers in gritty, horrifying, numbing detail. The tedium, the insects, the crawling through tunnels, the battles without quarter, the explosions of merciless savagery. The author packs his work with historical details about weapons and equipment and military tactics. The sense of realism is startling. And to make things even more fascinating, he ties his fictional characters in with real figures from Spanish history and culture, particulary the great painter Velasquez. Not only can you not put this book down, you begin to wonder if it's fiction or history.
I'm enjoying the series immensely and this one especially. The Spanish is not too difficult, although (as with the other volumes) he uses a number of archaic terms for weapons and articles of clothing. Never mind, you can feel the dampness and cold. You keep reading. I recommend this book very highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

El sol de Breda Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste 3 Spanish Edition eBook Arturo PérezReverte Reviews
I keep marvelling at Mr. Pérez-Reverte's enviable style and lexicon. Yet another gem of a novel with microscopically researched historical footnotes. However, it looks at times like Iñigo Balboa is kicking Diego Alatriste out of the limelight. This is the first of the books I have read on the series where the young squire is coming of age and eventually coming into stage. He is the narrator, but also the executor of pivotal scenes. Regardless of this meaningless observation, the book is fascinating - yet again. The afterword puzzled me for nights. The editor describes the history of Diego Velázquez's "Surrender of Breda", one of the greatest - if not the greatest - painting of the Baroque period. In it he points out that perennial idiosyncracy of the Sevilian master, namely, redoing his canvas with different scenes or even characters. Was the explanation about Velázquez's self-portrait, perched on the left side along the defeated Dutch army, truly accurate, i.e., was Alatriste originally portrayed in its place? Or is the afterword part of the novel's unconventional fictionalization?
Excelente, como todas las obras de Arturo Pérez-Reverte
Excelentes condiciones
A tiempo y buen precio
I recognize the narrative value of this book and its richness in historic details. However, it is probably my least favorite of the seven Alatristes books, and of the 13 books in total that I have read so far from Perez-Reverte. Having said that, in Perez-Reverte's books there is always something to keep in our minds forever. I found that moment in this book, the one who teach a lesson to the charater -and to the reader- that makes it all worth it.
Maravilloso de nuevo leer historia novelada como esta. Ya esperando que salga el proximo libro de la seria. Tremendo como describe el ambiente de las trincheras y la guerra de Flandes contra los Protestantes. Lo vives y gozas y sufres y disfrutas y cuando mueren o se salvan los personajes uno lo hace con ellos.
As always Perez-Reverte engages you with his own take of history as Spain struggles to retain control and possession of her empire, this time of Holland. His description of the way war was fought then, the uniforms or mixed bag of personal accoutremonts to deflect possible thrust of swords and javelins via coletos de bufalo, morriones, and celadas and the traditional valones of Spanish pirates are just examples of how well researched are his books.
My grandfather being an Andalucian brought with him familiar words to the Philippines, which my father peppered his speech with as we grew up and many of these words are scattered in this wonderful book. Por vida del Rey juro que el tercio de Cartagena eran hombres de pelo en pecho!
El éxito de sus novelas sobre las aventuras del capitán Alatriste, cuya publicación comenzó en 1996, constituye un acontecimiento literario sin precedentes en España. El sol de Breda es el tercer volumen de la serie. Flandes, 1625. Alistado como mochilero del capitán Alatriste en los tercios viejos que asedian Breda, Íñigo Balboa es testigo excepcional de la rendición de la ciudad, cuyos pormenores narrará diez años más tarde para un cuadro famoso de su amigo Diego Velázquez.
El Capitán Alatriste abandona la villa y corte de Madrid para marchar hacía Flandes y sus sangrientas batallas. Hasta el momento muchos dicen que El Sol de Breda es el mejor de los tres libros que han sido editados yo creo que los tres son muy entretenidos. Dejando a un lado las intrigas de la corte, Don Diego Alatriste vive y hace vivir la crueldad e injusticia y realidad de la guerra en 1625. Haciendo gala de un rigor histórico, Reverte refleja un período de España del que se ha publicado muy poco y que para muchos es hoy en día desconocido. Otras obras recomendadas del mismo autor. El Husar y La sombra del Aguila ambas inspiradas en las guerras Napoleonicas.
