East Prussia in 1812. Martin Millbacher, the son of a farmer on the Memel, is seduced by the splendor of the "Twenty-Tongued" army and goes to war for Napoleon with Westphalian cannoneers. He hopes for adventure and rich spoils, but his journey to Moscow and back has other things in store for him. He gets caught up in the battles of Smolensk and Borodino, experiences the conflagration of Moscow, and finally the mass dying at the Berezina and in Lithuanian Vilnius.
Arno Surminski powerfully narrates the fate of the young East Prussian amidst the turmoil of Napoleon's Russian campaign. His novel is living history, not from the perspective of generals and monarchs, but from the perspective of ordinary soldiers. No page of glory for the rulers responsible for the wars...
