The Marquis of Bolibar by Leo Perutz
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 230 KB
Overview: The mysterious Marquis that haunts the margins of this historical war drama is a wonderful creation whose real identity remains a mystery to the very end. The book has a fantastic element to it but it is not so far out there to be considered genre fiction. Leo Perutz was admired by Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges among others and writes very literate but also very entertaining books and belongs in that category of writers. You can enjoy the identity mystery(national and personal) and the historical dimension of this as well. It is a fascinating series of events that take place in an equally fascinating time and place(all of Perutz’s books do)and it will enlighten you and entertain you with a not too often written about side of the Napoleanic Wars. Mainly the complex ethnic and nationalist and familial loyalties that sometimes created very complex situations. The troops that occupy and garrison themselves in to the strange town where these events occur are in for a series of surprises and so is the reader who will be delighted to have found such a unique kind of book.
