Overview

When the Great War shatters a family dynasty, no one will escape the shadow of the apocalypse. Julio Desnoyers has everything: wealth, charm, and a carefree life in the glittering salons of pre-war Paris. Born to an Argentine cattle baron's fortune, he dances through his days as a tango instructor and pursues pleasures without consequence-until August 1914, when the world catches fire. As the German army marches toward France, Julio's idyllic existence crumbles. His own family is torn apart, with relatives fighting on opposite sides of the trenches. The woman he loves is trapped in occupied territory. And an enigmatic Russian mystic haunts the edges of his consciousness, speaking in terrible prophecies of Conquest, War, Famine, and Death-the four horsemen who now ride across a blood-soaked Europe. From the luxurious estates of Argentina to the devastated battlefields of the Marne, Ibáñez crafts an epic tale of transformation and tragedy. As millions perish and civilization itself hangs in the balance, one frivolous man must confront what it means to have a soul worth saving in an age of mechanized slaughter. The international bestseller that defined World War I for a generation-a sweeping masterpiece of passion, destruction, and redemption that still haunts readers a century later. *** The series ""Large Print Reader's Choice"" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
