In the late 18th century, when two members of the Royal Spanish Academy, librarian Don Hermogenes Molina and admiral Don Pedro Zarate, were tasked by their colleagues to travel to Paris to secretly acquire the 28 volumes of the Encyclopedie by D'Alembert and Diderot, which was banned in Spain, no one could have suspected that the two academics would face a dangerous sequence of intrigues on the journey that would lead them, through roads filled with bandits and uncomfortable inns and hostels, from the enlightened Madrid of Charles III to the Paris of cafes, salons, philosophical circles, and political upheavals on the eve of the French Revolution.
Based on real events and characters, meticulously documented, moving and captivating on every page, "Good People in Dark Times" narrates the heroic adventure of those who, guided by the lights of Reason, sought to change the world with books, at a time when the future was pushing old ideas to the margins and the fear of freedom made established thrones and worlds falter.

Excellent Reverte. Adventure/historical novel that transports you to the Spain of the Holy Inquisition and the Paris of the Enlightenment. Not at all tiring, with a nice plot and a rich historical background. It loses the fifth star as I would have expected a more interesting ending.
