«La sombra del águila» is the historical novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (120 pages, in Spanish).
In the 1812 Russian campaign, a battalion of Spaniards forcibly recruited by the French army tries to defect to the Russians. Napoleon misinterprets the maneuver as a heroic gesture and orders a cavalry charge whose consequences no one foresees. Irony and rawness combine in this unflinching vision of war and the human condition.
The text was published in El País in August 1993, while the author was covering the Bosnian War. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Arturo Pérez-Reverte collection.
For readers of historical fiction and stories with irony and humor about war.
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.
