«Beau Geste» is the adventure novel by P. C. Wren, published by Planeta in hardcover (345 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows three brothers who enlist in the Foreign Legion after the disappearance of a valuable jewel from their family home. Set in the African desert, the action shows life in a fort, the threat of the «cafard» and a mystery that envelops the garrison, while the narrative explores honor, loyalty and sacrifice.
It is the first part of the Beau Geste trilogy, completed by «Beau sabreur» and «Beau ideal». The edition includes the translation by José Fernández and belongs to the Biblioteca Mundial de Grandes Aventuras collection.
For readers of classic adventure novels and stories set in the Foreign Legion.
Percival Christopher Wren was an English writer, mostly of adventure fiction. He is remembered best for Beau Geste, a much-filmed book of 1924, involving the French Foreign Legion in North Africa. This was one of 33 novels and short story collections that he wrote, mostly dealing with colonial soldiering in Africa.
