«El capot del tsar» is the historical tale by Josep Tomàs Cabot, published by Edicions l'Albí in paperback (95 pages, in Catalan).
On the eve of the Franco-Russian War of 1812, a friendly meeting between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I leads the tsar to gift military greatcoats to French officers. During the war, one of those greatcoats passes through several hands and, after a dramatic transformation, ends up sheltering a destitute and lonely person.
The tale comes from La cadena (2002), a work by Josep Tomàs Cabot.
For those seeking a brief historical tale showing how an object can change its fate in times of war.
Spanish philosopher, historian and journalist
