«Le Cavalier suédois» is the historical novel by Leo Perutz, published by Editions Phébus in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In early 18th-century Eastern Europe, on the borders of Prussia and Poland, a pursued deserter and a vagabond who escaped the gallows meet in a pine forest. The exchange of identities between them unleashes a pursuit in which happiness seems to fade until a death-marked outcome.
Work originally published in 1936 as «Der schwedische Reiter»; translated from German by Martine Keyser. Edition in the Libretto collection.
For readers of historical fiction and 20th-century German narrative, with elements of suspense and a fantastical tone.
Leopold Perutz was an Austrian novelist and mathematician. Born in Prague, he lived in Vienna until the Nazi Anschluss in 1938, when he emigrated to Palestine.
