1809. Following the French invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, Napoleon placed his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, on the throne of Spain. But the proud hidalgos of Seville and its environs refused to bow their heads and turned to the British for help.
With the arrival of the British expeditionary force under the command of Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington), the Spaniards were gripped by renewed discontent. They themselves were no longer sure whom they hated more—the French or the British. From the chaos of intrigue and betrayal that enveloped the country, the legend of a mysterious and elusive phantom captain was born, sowing fear and confusion everywhere.
The latest volume of "Masters of Adventure" introduces the beginning of Paul Féval's captivating cloak-and-dagger adventure, "Captain Phantom." The book is among the writer's most successful historical adventure novels. Soon after its initial publication, a film adaptation followed—a play of the same name, starring the brilliant actor and swordsman Étienne Meling, the 19th century's finest theatrical d'Artagnan and Fanfan-le-Tulip. This is the first time the novel "Captain Phantom" has been published in Russian.
