Sobre el libro Uncertain Glory de Joan Sales publicado por Maclehose al 2018:
SPAIN, 1937.Posted to the Aragonese front, Lieutenant Lluís Ruscalleda eschews the drunken antics of his comrades and goes in search of intrigue. But the lady of Castel de Olivo - a beautiful widow with a shadowy past - puts a high price on her affections. In Barcelona, Trini Milmany struggles to raise Lluís´ son on her own, letters from the front her only solace. With bombs falling as fast as the city´s morale, she leaves to winter with Lluís´ brigade on a quiet section of the line. But even on ´dead´ fronts the guns do not stay silent for long. Trini´s decision will put her family´s fate in the hands of Juli Soleràs, old friend and traitor of easy conscience, a philosopher-cynic locked in an eternal struggle with himself. Joan Sales, a combatant in the civil war, distilled his experiences into a timeless story of thwarted love, lost youth and crushed illusions. A thrilling epic that has drawn comparison with the work of Dostoevsky and Stendhal, Uncertain Glory is a homegrown counterpart to classics such as Homage to Catalonia and For Whom the Bell Tolls. d
