The Arrow of Gold

First UK edition (publ. T. Fisher Unwin)

The Arrow of Gold is a novel by

Tirso de Olazábal y Lardizábal, Count of Arbelaiz.[2]

The narrator of The Arrow of Gold has considerable involvement in the story and is unnamed. The principal theme is a love triangle which comprises the young narrator, Doña Rita and the Confederate veteran Captain Blunt (named for Simon F. Blunt).[3] Doña Rita finances the operations of the narrator's vessel, Tremolino which smuggles ammunition to the Carlist army. Nautical operations are detailed in the Tremolino chapters[4] of The Mirror of the Sea rather than in this novel.

Conrad dedicated the novel to his friend, the author, critic and journalist Richard Curle.[5][6]
