*This is what happens when I’m away too long. Everything rests on my shoulders, and mine alone. Will nothing that I’ve accomplished survive when I’m gone?
September 1812. After six days of fire, Moscow, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, is reduced to ruins. Three-quarters of the town is destroyed. Twelve thousand corpses are lying amongst the wreckage. Yet, Napoleon decides to return to this city of ashes with his Grande Armée, in the hope that Tsar Alexander will finally respond to his peace proposal.
Following The Battle (Historia Prize for best historical comic book in 2014), Frédéric Richaud and Ivan Gil bring us a spectacular adaptation of Patrick Rambaud’s The Retreat - a novel that, when released in 2000, left several hundred thousand readers awestruck.
Berezina gives an unembellished account of Napoleon’s appalling Russian campaign which, over the six months it lasted, saw more than three hundred and fifty thousand people perish, and proved to the world that Napoleon was not invincible after all.*
