Una novela apasionante que narra la heroica aventura de quienes se atrevieron a cambiar el mundo con libros. ???En tiempos de oscuridad siempre hubo hombres buenos que lucharon por traer las luces y el progreso. Y otros que procuraron impedirlo.??? --Arturo P???rez-Reverte A finales del siglo XVIII, cuando dos miembros de la Real Academia Espa???ola, el bibliotecario don Herm???genes Molina y el almirante don Pedro Z???rate, recibieron de sus compa???eros el encargo de viajar a Par???s para conseguir de forma casi clandestina los 28 vol???menes de la Encyclop???die de D'Alembert y Diderot, que estaba prohibida en Espa???a, nadie pod???a sospechar que los dos acad???micos iban a enfrentarse a una peligrosa sucesi???n de intrigas, a un viaje de incertidumbres y sobresaltos que los llevar???a, por caminos infestados de bandoleros e inc???modas ventas y posadas, desde el Madrid ilustrado de Carlos III al Par???s de los caf???s, los salones, las tertulias filos???ficas, la vida libertina y las agitaciones pol???ticas en v???speras de la Revoluci???n francesa. Basada en hechos y personajes reales, documentada con extremo rigor, conmovedora y fascinante en cada p???gina, Hombres buenos narra la heroica aventura de quienes, orientados por las luces de la Raz???n, quisieron cambiar el mundo con libros cuando el futuro arrinconaba las viejas ideas y el ansia de libertad hac???a tambalearse tronos y mundos establecidos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION At the turn of the 18th century, when two members of the Royal Spanish Academy, librarian don Herm???genes Molina and admiral don Pedro Z???rate, were assigned by their coworkers to travel to Paris in order to obtain in a secretive manner all 28 volumes of the Encyclopaedia of D'Alembert and Diderot, which was outlawed in Spain, nobody could foresee that these two academics would face an extremely dangerous sequence of machinations, a journey full of uncertainty and fright, which would lead them, through paths full of robbers and uncomfortable lodgings and inns, from Charles III's enlightend Madrid to Parisian caf???s, salons, philosophical circles of conversation, libertine life and political unrest of the French Revolution. Based on real events and characters, documented with great rigour, emotional and captivating at every page, Good Men tells the heroic tale of people who, with Logic's light as their guide, wanted to change the world through books, back in an age when the future was pushing old ideas to the side and the stress for freedom made established thrones and worlds to falter.
