Summary
A tale of adventures, a detective story, and a saga of betrayals and political ploys in the Madrid of 1868, el maestro de esgrima is the account of a world overflowing with gamblers and hawkers held at bay by an honorable foil. More importantly, it is a disquieting allegory of the power of money, political ambition, and the extinction of values such as honor and fidelity in a crumbling twentieth century.
