In 'The Shadow of the Eagle', Arturo Pérez-Reverte presents a story set in the Russian campaign of 1812, where a battalion of Spanish prisoners, forced to join the French army, attempts to desert. The story, full of lucidity and a tragic touch, offers a scathing vision of war and the human condition. Originally published in the newspaper El País in 1993, while the author was covering the conflict in Bosnia, this short story stands out for its heartbreaking tone and its critique of war epic.
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.
