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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Arturo Pérez-Reverte reveals a stark, humorous, piercing, tragic, and scathing vision of war and the human condition.

The Shadow of the Eagle is based on a true story. During the Russian campaign of 1812, as the Napoleonic troops fight a battle they are about to lose, a battalion of former Spanish prisoners, forcibly enrolled in the French army, tries to join the Russians. Misinterpreting their intentions, the Emperor takes it for an act of heroism and orders a cavalry charge to their aid, with unforeseeable consequences.

This short story was published in El País in August 1993, while Arturo Pérez-Reverte was reporting from Bosnia.

All 3 dogs, 3 different sizes and ages love it! Can’t go wrong!
Size: Medium, Style: Bristle Bone
Great! Super great! When you HAVE TO GET THEM OUT OF YOUR HAIR! This toy is durable even without the beef flavored insert! I have a Border Collie who has too much energy and an Aussie who can’t sit still and a small stray who is constantly figuring out a way to steal these from the other two! Safe, effective and actually cleans their teeth! This might well be my first Amazon review because this toy deserves it!

Bully approved
If he wants something to gnaw on he will sit with it but he doesn't really play with it. Which is probably the point. It's lasted. The ends are the most chewed. Overall great for a chewer!

Surprisingly Durable
Color: Green
Our dog is an aggressive chewer. She has destroyed other toys meant for "aggressive chewers" in less that 6 hours. This toy has lasted 17 days and it's still going. It does have areas were the seam has given way and a very small amount of stuffing has come out. She has "killed" the squeaker. But the toy is still usable. We just played Tug of War this morning. It will not last forever. It is showing it's "age". But the durability is there. I am ordering more.

Durability and lasting period of toy.
Color: Green
I got this toy for our bulldog. He had a hole in it, which will only progress, within minutes. I took it away until I could find out if there is any kind of warranty. The information says this toy is not for aggressive chewers, yet right in the description and the photo of the toy (that way I knew I was looking at the correct toy), it says for the "aggressive chewer". I am disappointed that even though it isn't how they described, it only lasted minutes before there was damage. Not sure if I would buy another product.
