Nueva edici�n de Soldados de Salamina, novela imprescindible del siglo XXI, revisada a fondo por el autor y rematada por un esclarecedor ep�logo escrito por �l 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 republicanos que huyen hacia el exilio. Entre esos prisioneros se halla Rafael S�nchez Mazas, fundador e ide�logo de la Falange, poeta y futuro ministro de Franco, quien consigue milagrosamente escapar y ocultarse en el bosque mientras los republicanos lo persiguen; hasta que un soldado lo descubre, lo enca�ona y, mir�ndolo a los ojos, le perdona la vida. Sesenta a�os m�s tarde, un novelista fracasado descubre por azar este enterrado episodio b�lico y, fascinado por �l, emprende una investigaci�n para aclarar sus circunstancias y desentra�ar su significado. Qui�n era de verdad Rafael S�nchez Mazas? Cu�l fue su verdadera peripecia de guerra? Qui�n fue el soldado que le dej� escapar? Y por qu� lo hizo? Qu� secreto escond�a su mirada? Novela revolucionaria y deslumbrante, Soldados de Salamina cosech� un extraordinario �xito de cr�tica y p�blico y catapult� la carrera de uno de los novelistas m�s prestigiosos de la actual narrativa espa�ola. Desde entonces no ha dejado de leerse en todo el mundo con creciente admiraci�n y catorce a�os m�s tarde sigue siendo, como afirm� Mario Vargas Llosa, «una de las grandes novelas de nuestro tiempo . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - A novel of the Spanish Civil War, a modern classic, and a searing exploration of the unknowability of history, by the acclaimed author of Outlaws. One of Spain's best-selling book -an award-winning, wholly original and absorbing work of fiction by a modern master, at whose heart lies an investigation into the nature of historical truth. In the waning days of the Spanish Civil War, an unknown militiaman discovered a Nationalist prisoner who had fled a firing squad and taken refuge in the forest. But instead of killing him, the soldier simply turned and walked away. The prisoner, Rafael S�nchez Mazas--writer, fascist, and founder of the Spanish Falange--went on to become a national hero and ultimately a minister in Franco's first government. The soldier disappeared into history. Sixty years later, Javier Cercas--or at least, a character who shares his name--sifts through the evidence to establish what really happened that day. Who was the soldier? Why didn't he shoot? And who was the true hero in the story? Every answer yields another question in this powerful and elegantly constructed novel about truth, memory, and war.Javier Cercas (Ibahernando, Cáceres, 1962) es profesor de literatura española en la Universidad de Gerona, Honorary Fellow de la Universidad de Oxford y profesor honorario de la Universidad Diego Portales, en Chile.
