¡°El H¨²sar is my first novel. Written in 1983 between two war articles, at that time I had no intentions to dedicate myself to writing literature, and published almost by chance by a publishing company with which I never maintained a good relationship, it has taken me almost twenty years to recover the publication rights. Now this novel surfaces again, finally to the author¡¯s liking, with a suitable revision, corrected of errors and lightened of some unnecessary adverbs and adjectives.¡± ¨DArturo P¨¦rez-Reverte.

El Husar,

This review is from: El husar/ The Husar (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Un libro excelente. De lectura fácil y rápida. El autor, Pérez Reverte hecha mano de su experiencia en campos de batalla como corresponsal de guerra, para dar su opinión acerca de lo que es, realmente, un conflicto armado.Un libro muy en la línea de aquellos del Emilio Salgari de mi adolescencia, lleno de apologías para el sentido del honor, la caballerosidad, la amistad y la lealtad. Aunque mas realista en su trama. Un libro, en fin, que pretende ser entretenido, que desarrolla una trama sin muchas pretensiones, y que retrata de manera admirable a esas personalidades fascinantes que fueron los Húsares. Vale la pena leerlo!

Hu-wha? HuSAR,
By
This review is from: El Husar (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This early effort is not Perez-Reverte's best, but the promise of "Captain Alatriste" and the great swashbuckling narrative is clear. "El Husar" is difficult to explain, in a sense: the Napoleonic occupation of Spain written by a native Spaniard, from the perspective of a German (from Alscace) in Napoleon's army. The narrative is clear, single-person, lucid and beautiful as all Arturo Perez-Reverte is. A little gory for my taste; nothing is perfect.The book is only available in it's original Spanish. I recommend it to those who like the era, more than those who like the author.

Interesting.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: El Husar (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
The style is overblown and the characters don't develop, but the book is interesting as the first novel of a man whose mature works are those of a superb writer. Some of the military vocabulary of the early 19th century is arcane and difficult but doubtless well-researched.
