Book - The Capitan - Michel Zevaco - Bookcase Green Hardback 1962 X

Description

Early 17th century, France. A horseman springs up and falls like lightning in the midst of terrified brigands. Rapiers cross each other, horses rear up, men collapse, others flee. Then, uncovering himself with a gesture, the horseman bows smiling before the frail young girl whom he has just snatched from the claws of criminals. Capestang, a young provincial noble, has just experienced his first skirmish and met the delightful Gisèle d'Angoulême. Soon famous under the name Capitan, he will have to thwart many intrigues, the plots of the odious Concini and save the young king Louis XIII.
