[EPUB] The Fencing Master by Arturo Pérez-Reverte

In Madrid in 1868, fencing master and man of honor Don Jaime is approached by a mysterious woman who seeks to learn the secret of the unstoppable thrust, an arcane technique known only to him. All too soon he finds himself in the vortex of a plot that includes seduction, secret political documents, and more than one murder. Rich with the historical detail of a decaying world that agonizes -- as does the world of fencing itself -- over the ideals of honor and chivalry, The Fencing Master is superb literature and a true page-turner.
