Soldiers of Salamis

"Солдаты Саламина" (2001) - роман современного испанского писателя Хавьера Серкаса о гражданской войне в Испании (1936-1939). Название книги намекает на знаменитую битву при Саламине (5 век до н.э.), в которой афинский флот победил персов. 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 Republican soldier. The writer becomes a national hero and a member of Franco's first government, while the soldier is forgotten. (на английском языке)
