ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. April 1937. Merchant seaman Miguel Jordan Kiriazis, stoically choosing a side in the Spanish Civil War, unexpectedly receives an amazing task for himself: at the head of a motley team of mercenaries — more precisely, pirates — to undermine Soviet transports that deliver military supplies to Spain through the Aegean Sea to the Republicans. Arriving at the base located on the tiny island of the Sleeping Woman, Jordan encounters its owners— Baron Katelios and his wife Lena, a delightful mature woman who, in cold desperation, seeks salvation from her hopeless fate. Meanwhile, epic battles are unfolding at sea, and passions are raging in their hearts, far from the island, in Istanbul, two friends who found themselves in different camps during the civil war are playing their chess game, which is approaching a bloody endgame. . . Arturo Perez-Reverte is a former military journalist, the renowned creator of the series about Captain Diego Alatriste, the winner of the most prestigious literary awards, the author of brilliant historical, military, adventure and detective novels, translated into forty languages and sold a total of more than 27 million copies. His "Island of the Sleeping Woman" is a novel about war, duty, revenge and love. A novel about the sea, where only the indubitable remains. Friendship. Loyalty. Hard work. Danger. Love at sea is a shaky, uncertain mirage. It exists, but you shouldn't believe it. For the first time in Russian!
