Sangre joven

Resumen del libro

La batalla de Waterloo (1815) convirtió en dos de las mayores figuras históricas a dos hombres: Wellington y Napoleón. Dos hombres nacidos curiosamente en el mismo año (1769) y cuyas trayectorias guardan curiosos paralelismos.
Esta primera entrega de la serie, Simon Scarrow, relata las trayectorias de las vidas cruzadas de ambos personajes y narra los apasionantes y trascendentales año de formación de dos militares y políticos cuyo enfrentamiento cambiaría por completo la faz de Europa. Y todo ello con el fondo de los movimientos revolucionarios en Francia.
El autor vistará España en abril (del 21 al 24) para atender a la presna y firmar ejemplares (más información en NOTICIAS).
