«L'emperador o l'ull del vent» is the historical novel by Baltasar Porcel published by Columna in 2002 in hardback (220 pages, in Catalan).
During the Napoleonic Wars, after the capitulation of the French army in Andalusia in 1808, thousands of soldiers are confined on the island of Cabrera. Through the memory of a veteran who survived that confinement, Baltasar Porcel reconstructs the tragedy of the prisoners and the inhuman conditions of a place that has been considered one of the first concentration camps in history.
The work is part of the Els llibres del mil·leni collection and was awarded the Premi Ramon Llull 2001.
