«La Batalla» is the historical novel by Patrick Rambaud, published by Columna in hardback (69 pages, in Catalan).
In 1809, Napoleon's army crosses the Danube to attack the troops of Archduke Charles. The Battle of Essling, near Vienna, becomes a slaughter with tens of thousands dead in a few hours; the novel recreates the episode with historical rigour and without toning down its violence, exploring the cruelty and greatness that coexist in war.
First instalment of the Fin d’Empire series. Winner of the 1997 Prix Goncourt and the Grand Prix du Roman de l’Académie française. Belongs to the Clàssica collection.
For readers of historical fiction and war narrative, especially those interested in the Napoleonic Wars.
Patrick Rambaud is a French writer.
