About this listen
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.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

En Un día de cólera, Arturo Pérez-Reverte convierte en historia colectiva las pequeñas y oscuras historias particulares registradas en archivos y libros.Lo imaginado, por tanto, se reduce a la argamasa narrativa que une las piezas. Con las licencias mínimas que la palabra novela justifica, estas páginas pretenden devolver la vida a quienes durante doscientos años solo han sido personajes anónimos en grabados y lienzos contemporáneos, o escueta relación de nombres en los documentos oficiales.

Un encargo editorial pone a Alejandra Varela, especialista en arte urbano, tras la pista de Sniper, un reconocido artista del grafiti, promotor de acciones callejeras al límite de la legalidad -algunas de ellas con resultados fatales- del que casi nadie ha visto jamás el rostro ni conoce el paradero. La búsqueda conducirá a la protagonista de Madrid a Lisboa, y de ahí a Verona y Nápoles en su intento por descifrar cuál es el objetivo al que apunta la mira mortal del cazador solitario.

Story
Ésta es la historia de un hombre, tres mujeres, una revolución y un tesoro. La revolución fue la de México en tiempos de Emiliano Zapata y Francisco Villa. El tesoro fueron quince mil monedas de oro de a veinte pesos de las denominadas maximilianos, robadas en un banco de Ciudad Juárez el 8 de mayo de 1911. El hombre se llamaba Martín Garret Ortiz y era un joven ingeniero de minas español. Todo empezó para él ese mismo día, cuando desde su hotel oyó un primer disparo lejano. Salió a la calle para ver qué ocurría y a partir de ese momento su vida cambió para siempre.

Lo acompañan en la tarea un rostro que regresa del pasado para cobrar una deuda mortal, y la sombra de una mujer desaparecida diez años atrás. En torno a esos tres personajes, Arturo Pérez-Reverte ha escrito la más intensa y turbadora historia de su larga carrera de novelista.

Por primera vez un volumen reúne la historia de España escrita por Arturo Pérez-Reverte durante más de cuatro años en su columna «Patente de corso» del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos irónico, pero siempre único, de nuestra accidentada historia a través de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, «divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atrás desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.»

Story
No tenía patria ni rey, sólo un puñado de hombres fieles. No tenían hambre de gloria, sólo hambre. Así nace un mito. Así se cuenta una leyenda. El arte del mando era tratar con la naturaleza humana, y él había dedicado su vida a aprenderlo. Colgó la espada del arzón, palmeó el cuello cálido del animal y echó un vistazo alrededor: sonidos metálicos, resollar de monturas, conversaciones en voz baja. Aquellos hombres olían a estiércol de caballo, cuero, aceite de armas, sudor y humo de leña.

Definitivamente, uno de los mejores trabajos de Perez Reverte
Desde hace muchos años, me considero un fiel seguidor de Arturo Pérez Reverte, pero esta es una de sus obras que más me ha gustado, me parece extremadamente divertida y chusca, su forma de redactar en esta breve historia, es mucho más alegre y traviesa de la forma que tienen otros trabajos, personalmente me parece uno de los mejores y desde luego se ha convertido en mis favoritos.
Ampliamente recomendable

Fun and sad, I laughed out loud and also cried. Great performance for an awesome novel.
