The year is 1899, and Boer forces have surrounded the small South African town of Ladysmith. As shells and shrapnel rain down, British soldiers and townsfolk dig themselves in. Waiting for rescue, they try to keep up their spirits with parties and cricket matches. But General Buller's relief column can't break through.

Giles Foden, who grew up in Africa, was for three years an as sistant editor of the Times Literary Supplement and then joined the staff of the Guardian. In 1998 Foden won the Whitbread First Novel Award for the Last King of Scotland, which was followed in 1999 by Ladysmith - two novels which, according to Alan Massie writing in the Scotsman, 'establish him as the most original and interesting novelist of his generation'.

Vendeur : Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Espagne
Etat : Good. : En 1899, las fuerzas bóer rodean la pequeña ciudad sudafricana de Ladysmith. Mientras llueven proyectiles y metralla, los soldados británicos y los habitantes se atrincheran. Esperando el rescate, intentan mantener el ánimo con fiestas y partidos de cricket. Pero la columna de socorro del general Buller no puede abrirse paso. Lo único que llega es peligro, enfermedad y hambre. La fascinante narración de Foden presenta a un elenco de personajes que van desde renegados republicanos irlandeses hasta editores literarios londinenses, pasando por algunos de los rostros más famosos del siglo XX. Y en el centro está la joven Bella Kiernan, para quien el largo asedio representa una libertad inesperada: la oportunidad de romper viejas lealtades y establecer nuevos amores. Inspirada en las cartas del bisabuelo del autor, un soldado británico, esta es una poderosa recreación ficticia de la primera guerra moderna. Con sus campos de internamiento, corresponsales de guerra y cámaras de cine, el asedio y sus secuelas sembraron las semillas de los conflictos venideros.
