*How wide is this river?
It’s not very wide. About 250 feet.
What its name?
The Berezina.
November 1872. It snowed… As the Siberian winter spreads across the Russian steppe, the French army, with the Cossacks at its heels, is forced to withdraw ever further, until it is but a shadow of its former glorious self, an endless string of doomed men who must now face a final and pitiless obstacle: the river Berezina.
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.*
