Overview
Hacia el final de la guerra civil se produjo, cerca de la frontera con Francia, un fusilamiento de prisioneros franquistas. Uno de ellos escapó con vida, gracias a un joven soldado republicano, y se pudo refugiar en el bosque. Se trataba de Rafael Sánchez Mazas, poeta, fundador de Falange y futuro ministro de Franco. Sesenta años más tarde, un novelista en horas bajas desentierra este episodio bélico y, fascinado por él, se propone investigar y aclarar sus circunstancias.
Soldados de Salamina, novela de Javier Cercas publicada originalmente en 2001, ha sido aclamada como un clásico moderno de la literatura por, entre otros, Kenzaburo Oé, Susan Sontag, George Steiner o Mario Vargas Llosa. Presentamos ahora una minuciosa adaptación gráfica a cargo de Jose Pablo García, uno de los autores de cómic españoles con más proyección internacional.
