Arturo Pérez-Reverte recrea en esta breve narración uno de los episodios más dramáticos de la conquista de México: la llamada «Noche Triste». Entre fango, lluvia y sangre, el Destino se abre paso en una noche en que la muerte no da tregua.La noche del 30 de junio de 1520 tuvo lugar en las afueras de Tenochtitlán el mayor desastre sufrido por las huestes de Hernán Cortés durante la conquista de México. En su retirada, los soldados españoles, castigados por la lluvia, avanzando por los puentes y entre el barro, debieron elegir entre el botín o la vida; abandonar el lastre de oro y riquezas que tantos peligros, sudor y sangre había costado era su única posibilidad de escapar. Sin embargo, no es fácil dejar atrás la esperanza de un futuro mejor. En Ojos azules, peleando por su vida, un soldado de mirada añil sueña con lo sucedido y por suceder, mientras combate y carga con el talego de oro en el que pesa todo su porvenir. Reseña: «Miniatura magistral de la escritura de Pérez-Reverte.» Del prólogo de Pere Gimferrer ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pérez-Reverte recreates one of the most historical battles in Mexico's conquest, the so called "Sad Night". Surrounded by mud, rain, and blood, Fate has a breakthrough on a night when death seems to give no truce. On the evening of June 30th, 1520, in the outskirts of Tenochtitlán, Mexico suffered the greatest tragedy at the hands of Hernán Cortés during its conquest. The Aztecs taste and relish their next revenge, while the Spaniards are ready to flee under the rain leaving behind the promise of gold for which they crossed the ocean; they must choose, to either take the loot for which so many fought and died for, or flee and save their own lives. But, it's not easy leaving behind the hope of a better future. While fighting for his life, a blue-eyed soldier is not willing to drop the sack full of precious metal; as he dreams of what could be, he fights on while carrying the gold bag filled with the weight of his future.
Auteurs :Arturo Pérez-Reverte Gutiérrez, is a Spanish novelist and ex-journalist. He worked as a war reporter for twenty-one years (1973 - 1994). He started his journalistic career writing for the now-defunct newspaper Pueblo. Then, he jumped to news reporter for TVE, Spanish national channel. As a war journalist he traveled to several countries, covering many conflicts. He put this experience into his book 'Territorio Comanche', focusing on the years of Bosnian massacres. That was in 1994, but his debut as a fiction writer started in 1983, with 'El húsar', a historical novella inspired in the Napoleonic era.
Although his debut was not quite successful, in 1988, with 'The Fencing Master', he put his name as a serious writer of historic novels. That was confirmed in 1996, when was published the first book of his Captain Alatriste saga, which has been his trademark. After this book, he could leave definitely journalism for focusing on his career as a fiction writer. This saga, that happens in the years of the Spanish golden age, has seen, for now, seven volumes, where Pérez-Reverte shows, from his particular point of view, historical events from Spanish history in the 16th century.
Apart from these, he also penned another successful works like Dumas Club and Flanders Panel, titles that, among others, made Pérez-Reverte one of the most famous and bestseller authors of Spanish fiction of our era.
