"This is a story about a man, about revolution, and about treasure..." The revolution will begin in Mexico in 1911, when the country will overthrow a corrupt dictator and attempt to rebuild itself. The treasure - fifteen thousand gold coins - will be expropriated for the needs of 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 at first out of boredom and curiosity, and then out of a call of the soul. The revolution will take place, although the victors will not be those who shed blood for it - not even those who believed in it. The treasure will be found sooner or later. And the man will experience the thrill of battle and primal fear, tender love and cynical betrayal, cruelty and generosity, despair and excitement - he will mature and understand what honor, death, and disappointment are. Arturo Pérez-Reverte, a former war journalist, a renowned author of brilliant historical, military, and adventure novels translated into forty languages, the creator of the Captain Alatriste series, and a recipient of prestigious literary awards. His "Revolution" is a grand adventure epic, a story of a soul that lost its innocence in a romantic impulse, and personal heroism inevitably leading to a bloody carnage in the name of lofty goals. Available in Russian for the first time!
