«La Troisième Balle» is the historical and fantasy novel by Leo Perutz, published by Zulma in paperback (330 pages, in French).
In 1519, during the conquest of Tenochtitlan, Franz Grumbach, an exiled German Lutheran with no memory, allies with the devil to take revenge on the conquistadors. The devil gives him a harquebus and three bullets: one for Cortés, another for the duke who abducted his beloved Dalila, and a third with an uncertain fate. The novel weaves together history and fantasy.
Leo Perutz's first novel, originally published as «Die dritte Kugel» in 1915; this French edition includes the translation by Jean-Claude Capèle.
A proposal for readers of literary and historical fiction and for those who enjoy a fantastical retelling of the conquest of Mexico.
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.
