What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

La adaptación gráfica de una novela imprescindible de la narrativa española. Hacia el final de la guerra civil se produjo, cerca de la frontera con Francia, un fusilamiento de prisioneros franquistas. Uno de ellos escapó con vida, gracias a un joven soldado republicano, y se pudo refugiar en el bosque. Se trataba de Rafael Sánchez Mazas, poeta, fundador de Falange y futuro ministro de Franco. Sesenta años más tarde, un novelista en horas bajas desentierra este episodio bélico y, fascinado por él, se propone investigar y aclarar sus circunstancias.Soldados de Salamina, novela de Javier Cercas publicada originalmente en 2001, ha sido aclamada como un clásico moderno de la literatura por, entre otros, Kenzaburo Oé, Susan Sontag, George Steiner o Mario Vargas Llosa. Presentamos ahora una minuciosa adaptación gráfica a cargo de Jose Pablo García, uno de los autores de cómic españoles con más proyección internacional.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn 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 novel 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
