"This is a story about a man, a revolution, and a treasure..." The revolution will begin in Mexico in 1911, when the country will throw off a corrupt dictator and try to build itself anew. The treasure - fifteen thousand gold coins - will be expropriated for the revolution from a bank safe and then disappear without a trace. And the man, a young mining engineer named Martin Garrett Ortiz, will get involved in revolutionary affairs, first out of boredom and curiosity and then out of the call of his soul. The revolution will be accomplished, although the winners will not be those who shed blood for it - and not even those who believed in it. The treasure will be found sooner or later. And a man on his own skin will know the excitement of battle and animal fear, reverent love and cynical betrayal, beastliness and generosity, despair and excitement - he will grow up and understand what is honor, what is death and what is disappointment. Arturo Perez-Reverte - former military journalist, celebrated author of brilliant historical, military, adventure novels, translated into forty languages, the creator of the cycle of Captain Diego Alatrista, the owner of the most prestigious literary awards. His "Revolution" - a grandiose adventure epic, the story of a soul that lost innocence in a romantic impulse, and personal heroism, inevitably coming to the bloody mess of carnage in the name of high goals.
