George MacDonald Fraser's hilarious stories of the most disastrous soldier in the British Army - collected together for the first time in one volume.
Este autor es célebre por su serie de novelas históricas, presentadas como las supuestas memorias de Harry Flashman. Flashman, originalmente concebido como un cobarde y matón, rememora sus días de aventuras como héroe del ejército británico en el siglo XIX. Las novelas son aclamadas por su meticulosa precisión histórica y una voz narrativa distintiva que ha cautivado a los críticos literarios. Estas obras ofrecen una perspectiva única de la historia a través de un protagonista cuyas motivaciones a menudo distan mucho de ser heroicas.

"If ever there was a time when I felt that 'watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet' stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman."–P.G. Wodehouse The first novel in the Flashman series Fraser revives Flashman, a caddish bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, and relates Flashman’s adventures after he is expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby school in the late 1830s. Flashy enlists in the Eleventh Light Dragoons and is promptly sent to India and Afghanistan, where despite his consistently cowardly behavior he always manages to come out on top. Flashman is an incorrigible anti-hero for the ages. This humorous adventure book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, military fiction, and British history as well as to fans of Clive Cussler, James Bond, and The Three Musketeers.
Repackaged to tie-in with hardback publication of The Reavers' and to appeal to a new generation of George MacDonald Fraser fans, The Pyrates' is a swashbuckling romp of a novel.
