Product Information

Nueva edicion de Soldados de Salamina, vela imprescindible del siglo XXI, revisada a fondo por el autor y rematada por un esclarecedor epilogo escrito por el mismo. A finales de enero de 1939, apenas dos meses antes del final de la guerra civil, un grupo de prisioneros franquistas es fusilado cerca la frontera francesa por soldados republicas que huyen hacia el exilio. Entre esos prisioneros se halla Rafael Sanchez Mazas, fundador e ideologo de la Falange, poeta y futuro ministro de Franco, quien consigue milagrosamente escapar y ocultarse en el bosque mientras los republicas lo persiguen; hasta que un soldado lo descubre, lo encana y, mirandolo a los ojos, le perdona la vida. Sesenta as mas tarde, un velista fracasado descubre por azar este enterrado episodio belico y, fascinado por el, emprende una investigacion para aclarar sus circunstancias y desentranar su significado. Quien era de verdad Rafael Sanchez Mazas? Cual fue su verdadera peripecia de guerra? Quien fue el soldado que le dejo escapar? Y por que lo hizo? Que secreto escondia su mirada? Novela revolucionaria y deslumbrante, Soldados de Salamina cosecho un extraordinario exito de critica y publico y catapulto la carrera de u de los velistas mas prestigiosos de la actual narrativa espala. Desde entonces ha dejado de leerse en todo el mundo con creciente admiracion y catorce as mas tarde sigue siendo, como afirmo Mario Vargas Llosa, una de las grandes velas de nuestro tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the final moments of the Spanish Civil War, a writer and founding member of Franco's Fascist Party is about to be shot, and yet miraculously escapes into the forest. When his hiding place is discovered, he faces death for the second time that day-but is spared, this time by a lone soldier. The POW becomes a national hero and a member of Franco's first government, while the soldier is forgotten. Sixty years later, Cercas's vel peels back the layers of truth and propaganda in order to discover who the real hero was. Elegantly constructed and told with self-deprecating, melancholy humor, Soldiers of Salamis is a wholly original work of literature by a modern master.
