Book
El asedio / Arturo Pérez-Reverte.
Cádiz, España, el año es 1811. En las calles de la ciudad más liberal de Europa mujeres jóvenes aparecen desolladas a latigazos. En cada lugar, antes del hallazgo del cadáver, ha caído una bomba francesa. Eso traza sobre la ciudad un mapa superpuesto y siniestro: un complejo tablero de ajedrez donde la mano de un jugador oculto--un asesino despiadado, el azar, las curvas de artillería, la dirección de los vientos, el cálculo de probabilidades mueve piezas que deciden el destino de los protagonistas: un policía corrupto y brutal, la heredera de una importante casa comercial gaditana, un capitán corsario de pocos escrúpulos, un taxidermista misántropo y espía, un enternecedor guerrillero de las salinas y un excéntrico artillero a quien las guerras importan menos que resolver el problema técnico del corto alcance de sus obuses.
Cadiz, the year 1811. While Spain and America are both fighting for their independence, a different type of battle is being waged in Europe's most liberal city. Young women are found dead, their throats severed by the cutting slash of a whip. And in each place, just before another dead body is found, a French bomb has exploded. These events create a sinister sketch over the city: a complex chess board where the hand of a mysterious player--a ruthless murderer, chance, the direction of the winds, the estimation of probabilities moves the pieces that determine the fate of the characters: a savage and corrupt police officer, the heiress to a local commercial empire, an unscrupulous privateer, a misanthropic taxidermist and spy, a guerrilla fighter from the coast capable of inspiring the most tender feelings, and an eccentric artilleryman more concerned with finding a solution to the short range of his mortar and shells than with war.
