A fascinating dramatized fiction of the life and times of Jules Bonnot, his "gang," and associates, the individualist anarchists of the time, including the young Victor Serge. An affectionate, past-paced, but historically accurate account of the life of the extraordinary Bonnot—worker, soldier, auto-mechanic, driver to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—a man with a long cherished dream of absolute freedom, and the first bank-robber to use a getaway car; an anarchist who felt it his duty to lash out at bourgeois society, staking his all. A tragically romantic hero, Jules Bonnot emerges from these pages as a wounded dreamer who was to deeply affect the lives of so many other unforgettable characters. Beautifully illustrated by Flavio Constantini.

Following in the footsteps of John Steinbeck, Cacucci travels through endless expanses of desert, salt mountains and rows of cacti with thorns so sharp that they can impale thirsty birds... Written with humour and heart, this is an insight into an ecosystem under threat and he describes the landscape and its inhabitants with compassion and respect.

"Éramos cuarenta y ocho hombres sin patria y sin uniforme;&nbsp; esperábamos encontrar ambas cosas más allá de las líneas mexicanas." Ésta es la historia real de John Riley y de sus hombres irlandeses que, en 1846, peleaban en las filas de los Estados Unidos&nbsp; durante la guerra fronteriza con México. Ellos, que habían escapado del hambre y de la opresión en su Irlanda natal, no pudieron&nbsp; permanecer sumisos ante la carnicería que su ejército cometía para expulsar a los mexicanos de sus tierras. Ésta es la leyenda de&nbsp; unos desertores que se cambiaron de bando para combatir la&nbsp; injusticia y formaron el Batallón de San Patricio, una unidad de artillería del ejército de la República mexicana. Ésta es la recreación de la infamia cometida contra Riley y los suyos, juzgados por alta traición, condenados y marcados a fuego en la&nbsp; mejilla con una D, de desertores, y también es una apasionante novela de perdedores, con toda la épica y el rigor histórico de Pino&nbsp; Cacucci. ENGLISH DESCRPTION "We were 48 men without uniform or country; we were hoping to find both things beyond the Mexican lines." This is the true story of John Riley and his Irish men who, in 1846, fought alongside US soldiers during the border war with Mexico. These men, who had escaped hunger and oppression in their native Ireland, could not remain passive in the face of the carnage that their army committed to expel the Mexicans from their land. This is the story of defectors who changed sides to combat injustice and formed St. Patrick's Battalion, an artillery unit in the Mexican Republic's army; the recreation of the disgrace committed against Riley and his men, tried for high treason, convicted and branded on the cheek with a D for deserter. It is also a thrilling novel of losers, with all of Pino Cacucci's epic and historical rigor.
