«La sombra del águila» is the historical novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (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 manoeuvre 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 humour about war.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
