VJ Books Presents Arturo Perez-Reverte!

Arturo Perez-Reverte was born November 25, 1951 in Cartagena, Spain.

He worked as a war reporter for twenty-one years (1973 - 1994). He started his journalistic career writing for the now-defunct newspaper Pueblo. He then moved on to news reporting for TVE, Spanish national channel. As a war journalist he traveled to several countries, covering many conflicts. He put this experience into his book 'Territorio Comanche', focusing on the years of Bosnian massacres. That was in 1994, but his debut as a fiction writer started in 1983, with 'El hÏsar', a historical novella inspired in the Napoleonic era.

In 1988, Perez-Reverte made his name as a serious writer of historic novels. That was confirmed in 1996, when was published the first book of his Captain Alatriste saga, which has been his trademark. After this book, he left journalism to focus on his career as a fiction writer.

Apart from these, he also penned other successful works like Dumas Club and Flandes Panel.

He has been a member of the Royal Spanish Academy since 2003. Since April 2016, Perez-Reverte has been editor and cofounder of the website, Zenda.
