In 1837, at the height of the Carlist Wars and a time of conflict between the past and future, a young Prussian
man crosses the Pyrenees to fight for the ‘Order’. Finding himself trapped in the ruins of an abandoned city,
his bewilderment at the war and what it means increases. Friendship, family, religion and politics: everything
is distorted, transformed or destroyed. The Others oscillates masterfully between humour and tragedy and is a
novel full of music, eccentric characters and extraordinary scenes.
