La gran novela de Arturo P???rez-Reverte que abri??? el camino del ???xito internacional a los thrillers inspirados en el mundo de los libros. ???Puede un libro ser investigado policialmente como si de un crimen se tratara, utilizando como pistas sus p???ginas, papel, grabados y marcas de impresi???n, en un apasionante recorrido de tres siglos?. Lucas Corso, mercenario de la bibliofilia, cazador de libros por cuenta ajena, debe encontrar respuesta a esa pregunta cuando recibe un doble encargo de sus clientes: autentificar un manuscrito de Los tres mosqueteros y descifrar el enigma de un extra???o libro, quemado en 1667 con el hombre que lo imprimi???. La indagaci???n arrastra a Corso -y con ???l, irremediablemente, al lector- a una peligrosa b???squeda que lo llevar??? de los archivos del Santo Oficio a los libros condenados, de las polvorientas librer???as de viejo a las m???s selectas bibliotecas de los coleccionistas internacionales. Construida con excepcional talento narrativo, El club Dumas sit???a pieza a pieza una trama excitante, minuciosa y compleja, donde se dan cita los ingredientes de la novela cl???sica por entregas, los relatos polic???acos y de misterio, los juegos de adivinaci???n y las t???cnicas del follet???n de aventuras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Lucas Corso is a book detective, a middle-aged mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions for wealthy and unscrupulous clients. When a well-known bibliophile is found dead, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment. He is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices, and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece. Aided by a mysterious beauty named for a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to Paris on the killer's trail in this twisty intellectual romp through the book world.
