«La sombra del águila» is Arturo Pérez-Reverte's short historical novel, published by Alfaguara in paperback (151 pages, in Spanish).
Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the novel recounts how a battalion of Spanish soldiers ends up, through a misunderstanding, involved in an action against the French army. With an ironic tone, the work turns that military episode into a critique of the absurdity of war and a portrait of the human condition.
This edition, published in 1996, belongs to the Alfaguara Bolsillo collection (no. 23).
For readers of historical fiction and stories with irony about war, as well as 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.
