“This is a story about a man, about a revolution and about a treasure...” The revolution begins in Mexico in 1911, when the country overthrows a corrupt dictator and tries 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, young mining engineer Martin Garrett Ortiz, gets involved in revolutionary affairs, first out of boredom and curiosity, and then at the call of his soul. The revolution will be accomplished, although the winners will not be those who shed their blood for it, nor even those who believed in it. The treasure will be found sooner or later. And a person will learn in his own skin the delight of battle and animal fear, reverent love and cynical betrayal, brutality and generosity, despair and excitement - he will grow up and understand what honor is, what death is and what disappointment is. Arturo Perez-Reverte - former military man journalist, renowned author of brilliant historical, military, and adventure novels translated into forty languages, creator of the cycle about Captain Diego Alatriste, winner of the most prestigious literary awards. His “Revolution” is a grandiose adventure epic, the story of a soul that has lost its innocence in a romantic impulse, and personal heroism that inevitably comes to the bloody mess of slaughter in the name of high goals.
