In 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. 546 $a In Spanish. 600 10 $a SaÌnchez-Mazas, Rafael, $d 1894-1966 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Spain $x History $y Civil War, 1936-1939 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Debolsillo (Firm) 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011038.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006095122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=614FD3ECC93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
