Soldados de Salamina

Taking as starting point an insignificant episode of the Spanish civil war, Soldados de Salamina (Salamis soldiers) is a novel about the literary vocation, about the meaning and value of narrative fictions and also about moral heroism.

First sentence: IT WAS THE SUMMER of 1994, more than six years ago now, when I first heard about Rafael Sanchez Mazas facing the firing squad.
