«U menya net ideologii — u menya est' biblioteka», — govorit Arturo Peres-Reverte (r. 1951), i «Istoriya Ispanii» illyustriruet ego podhod ochen' ubeditel'no. Byvshiy voennyy reporter, neizmenno blestyashchiy publicist, proslavlennyy avtor istoricheskih, voennyh, priklyuchencheskih romanov, sozdatel' cikla o kapitane Diego Alatriste neskol'ko let ezhenedel'no pisal istoriyu Ispanii dlya zhurnala XL Semanal. Iz-za ego traktovok chitateli slomali nemalo kopiy, a poluchivshayasya kniga razoshlas' u avtora na rodine gigantskim tirazhom. Na ispanskuyu istoriyu, ot istokov do 1980-h godov, Arturo Peres-Reverte smotrit trezvo i izlagaet ee smeshno, edko i ves'ma neortodoksal'no. Gluboko ponimaya istoricheskie processy, obladaya shirokim krugozorom i rukovodstvuyas' zdravym smyslom, on traktuet ee sub'ektivno, chego i ne skryvaet. «Edinstvennoy moey cel'yu, — pishet on, — bylo vot chto: horosho provesti vremya, koe-chto perechitat' i poluchit' ot etogo udovol'stvie». Cel' dostignuta, i poetomu teper' chitatel' tozhe ne mozhet otorvat'sya ot etogo bogatogo yarkimi detalyami masterskogo povestvovaniya, dostoynogo zanyat' pochetnoe mesto i sredi luchshih obrazcov populyarnoy literatury, i sredi rabot uchenyh-istorikov.
