Publisher's Summary

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.
