Saragossa - Want It All

Saragossa

"Saragossa" is the sixth volume in the brilliant series of historical novels by B. PÃ©rez GaldÃ³s, which begins with "Trafalgar" and closes with "The Battle of the Arapiles," embracing "The Court of Carlos IV," "Gerona," and "Napoleon in Chamartin." B. PÃ©rez GaldÃ³s, possibly known best in the United States as the author of "DoÃ±a Perfecta," may be called the Walter Scott of Spain. He is, however, truer to history than Scott, and the characters he creates move in an atmosphere of reality rather than romance. "Saragossa" is one of the most powerful, impressive, and popular of the twenty novels wherein he tells the gallant story of his native land. This tale of the second siege of the ancient Aragon city by the generals of Napoleon is a work of art, one that stirs the blood with admiration of the indomitable valor of the Spaniards; yet is it not also a document of special pleading for the world's peace? "Saragossa" ranks with Tolstoi's "War and Peace," and Zola's "La DÃ©bÃ¢cle," among great dramatic war novels.
