Summary
Albert Sanchez Pinol: Victus Barcelona 1714
The most famous Catalan writer today, Albert Sánchez Piñol, wrote his first book in Spanish - and achieved unprecedented success: 200,000 copies sold! Even before September 11 recently became a symbol of the end of the world, it had already meant the same for the Catalans for three centuries: namely, on that day in 1714, after a months-long siege, Barcelona fell, and with it, Catalan independence. Told in vivid and juicy language, VICTUS will keep you hooked until the last page. "Victus" is a historical novel about the War of the Spanish Succession, one of the first world wars, which ended on September 11, 1714 with the apocalyptic storming of Barcelona. At the same time, it is the story of the personal tragedy of a young man from Barcelona, named Martí Zuviría, the best student of Marquis Vauban, who develops into a genius of war engineering. "Victus" brings a flood of historically verified information in the service of lively, powerful and open storytelling. It takes us from France, through Madrid, Toledo, Tortosa and the battles of Brihuega and Almansa, all the way to unyielding Barcelona in 1714...
