Overview

Bajo su tono desgarrado, lúcido, divertido y trágico a un tiempo, Arturo Pérez-Reverte desvela una descarnada y mordaz visión de la guerra y de la condición humana. La sombra del águila narra una historia ficticia basada en un hecho real: durante la campaña de Rusia de 1812, en un combate adverso para las tropas napoleónicas, un batallón de antiguos prisioneros españoles, enrolados a la fuerza en el ejército francés, intenta desertar, pasándose a los rusos. Interpretando erróneamente el movimiento, el Emperador lo toma por un acto de heroísmo y ordena en su auxilio una carga de caballería que tendrá imprevisibles consecuencias. Este relato breve fue publicado en el diario El País en agosto de 1993, mientras Arturo Pérez-Reverte cubría, como reportero, el conflicto de Bosnia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Arturo Pérez-Reverte reveals a stark, humorous, piercing, tragic, and scathing vision of war and the human condition.   The Shadow of the Eagle is based on a true story. During the Russian campaign of 1812, as the Napoleonic troops fight a battle they are about to lose, a battalion of former Spanish prisoners, forcibly enrolled in the French army, tries to join the Russians. Misinterpreting their intentions, the Emperor takes it for an act of heroism and orders a cavalry charge to their aid, with unforeseeable consequences.   This short story was published in El País in August 1993, while Arturo Pérez-Reverte was reporting from Bosnia.
