Description
On 24-25 July 1938, during the Battle of the Ebro, 2,890 men and 14 women from the XI Mixed Brigade of the Republican Army crossed the river to establish a foothold at Castellets del Segre, where they would fight for ten days. However, neither Castellets nor the XI Brigade existed in reality. The military units, locations, and characters in this novel are fictional, but based on real events and people.
The Battle of the Ebro was one of the bloodiest conflicts fought on Spanish soil, with extensive documentation, parts of war, and personal testimonies available. In combining rigor and invention, Arturo Pérez-Reverte has created a compelling narrative that recovers the memory of those who fought in this conflict: their fathers, grandfathers, and fellow countrymen.
This novel is not just about the Spanish Civil War, but about the human experience of war itself. A balanced and fascinating account, it brings to life the stories of men and women caught up in any conflict, making it a powerful exploration of our shared history.
