Der Baron Bagge
Fiction, war & military, Austria, fiction
En pleno invierno de 1915, al sur de los Cárpatos, un destacamento de ciento veinte jinetes del ejército autro-húngaro persigue más allá de sus líneas un enemigo inalcanzable. A través de la enorme llanura desolada, sobre la que se cierne un cielo plomizo y una densa niebla cenicienta, la tropa se adentra en un extraño reino poblado de sombras que vagan por la oscuridad y el silencio, donde «ya no sabe uno con certeza quién es el que aún vive y el que ya está muerto; ni siquiera de sí mismo pude uno estar seguro". Veinte años después el barón Bagge, único superviviente de aquel destacamento, narra cómo en el transcurso de aquella misión vivió la aventura de amor y muerte que cambió radicalmente su vida.
