{"title":"Arturo Perez-Reverte","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"o-tango-da-velha-guarda","title":"The Old Guard Tango","description":"One of the most important Spanish-language writers today, Arturo Pérez-Reverte is the author of the series \"The Adventures of Captain Alatriste,\" which made it to the big screen in a production starring Viggo Mortensen and has sold over 4.5 million copies in Spain; and of the novel \"El Club Dumas,\" which inspired the film \"The Last Gate,\" directed by Roman Polanski and starring Johnny Depp. In this landmark novel, the author's debut with Editora Record, Pérez-Reverte creates a complex and passionate love story in three acts, laced with tango, pain, and intrigue, as well as a broad portrait of a faded Europe of the 1920s, 30s, and 60s. At 43, the famous composer Armando de Troeye sets sail for Buenos Aires. In his mind, an unfinished tango. In his arms, his beautiful wife, Mecha Inzunza. During the crossing, he meets Max Costa, a tango dancer born in the Buenos Aires suburbs. A man marked by profound ambition and a desire to break with convention. And the three begin a strange relationship... as sensual as it is dramatic, just like the rhythm that serves as its soundtrack. A love story between cynical and jaded heroes, Max and Mecha's thrilling adventure takes us through three distinct settings throughout the turbulent 20th century. The first, the underworld of 1928 Buenos Aires, due to an unusual bet between musicians. Then Nice, France, in 1937, amid the Spanish Civil War, intrigue, espionage, and the first stirrings of World War II. Finally, Italy's Sorrento, in the 1960s, in a decisive and enigmatic chess match. Told with admirable vigor, Tango of the Old Guard is a novel of betrayal and passion. Tango, wine, and milongas. A delicate and poignant look at love, from the madness of youth to the melancholy of old age, and also a testament to a Europe undergoing profound transformation. • Arturo Pérez-Reverte was a war correspondent for many years and is the author of the series *The Adventures of Captain Alatriste*. • The title is on the Spanish bestseller list, with more than 150,000 copies sold. • “Arturo Pérez-Reverte has composed a marvelous tango, a novel that is impossible to put down, just as it is impossible to abandon an old tango or a chess game halfway through.” — El país","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159767793916,"sku":"9788501402769","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6ae6ace410373f86295d5836b21260b1.jpg?v=1778321734"},{"product_id":"o-sniper-paciente","title":"The patient sniper","description":"The city walls are a battlefield in this book by renowned author Arturo Pérez-Reverte.
