About this book

He came along, kicking the snow. Here was a disgusted man. His name was Svevo Bandini, and he lived three blocks down that street. He was cold and there were holes in his shoes. That morning he had patched the holes on the inside with pieces of cardboard from a macaroni box. The macaroni in that box was not paid for. He had thought of that as he placed the cardboard inside his shoes.

Dale Brown. Aus dem Amerikan. von Wulf Bergner

The spell of vengeance had been cast upon Etienne Navaree, Captain of the Guard, and the beautiful lady Isabeau by the evil Bishop of Aquila.

This eternal spell is their punishment for daring to love after the evil Bishop had already chosen Isabeau for his own. Then, suddenly, Etienne receives an unex[ected sign of hope in the person of Phillipe, a young and cunning thief ... and Navarre knows he must seize this fearful oppertunity to free them from the Bishop's diabolical spell--or bring them death....

Luis Vélez de Guevara

Luis Velez de Guevara - como dije en otra ocasion[1] - fue tan pobre, que bien puede dudarse si en algun tiempo de su vida llego a tener dos trajes en mediano uso; pero, en cambio, a los doscientos y mas anos de su muerte tiene dos biografias diversas: la que le inventaron algunos escritores, que es la mas conocida[2], y la que despacio y a retazuelos, como de limosna, pero solidamente, le vamos escribiendo algunos investigadores de nuestra historia literaria[3].
