«El húsar» is a historical adventure novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Andalusia in 1808, it follows young Napoleonic second lieutenant Frederic Glüntz, a 19-year-old hussar facing his first battle. Far from the heroism he dreamed of, he discovers the emptiness and horror of war, and loses his innocence in a tale of action about the human condition in an extreme situation.
It is Arturo Pérez-Reverte's first novel, reissued in 2004 with the author's revisions and part of Alfaguara's Hispánica collection.
It is suitable for readers of historical and adventure fiction, as well as for followers of Arturo Pérez-Reverte's narrative.
Periodista, ex reportero de guerra y novelista español, autor de la saga del capitán Alatriste y de novelas como La tabla de Flandes y El club Dumas.
