La sublime puerta is a novel by the author Jesús Sánchez Adalid, set in the 16th century, in the context of the clashes between the Spanish troops of Felipe II and the Ottoman Empire. The protagonist, Luis María de Monroy, a young soldier of the Tercios, is captured and taken prisoner in the battle of Los Gelves. Thanks to his intelligence and skills, he manages to survive first in Susa and then in Istanbul, where he collaborates in an espionage plot in the service of the Spanish emperor. The novel reflects the era of the splendor of the Hispanic empire of the Austrias, with its chivalrous and religious ideals, music and poetry, the homeland and honor, which coexist with the cruelty of wars and the iniquity of its rulers.
