Tunante, mentiroso, fullero, ladrón, cobarde y bribón de marca mayor. A Harry Flashman lo han expulsado de su elitista internado por embriaguez. ¡Cómo se atreven! Un hombre como él, viril y decidido, ¡cómo es posible que no le dejen beber cerveza hasta caer redondo! Pero el futuro tiene planes para Flashman. Tras un fugaz romance con la amante de su padre, se alista en el Ejército para trepar y hacer fortuna, pero ni los húsares de lord Cardigan conseguirán meterlo en vereda. De Inglaterra a Escocia, de la India a Afganistán. ¡Únete al caballero más canalla en sus peligrosas y excitantes aventuras por todo el mundo! El truhan más grande que jamás ha existido, al servicio de su Británica Majestad.When he is expelled from boarding school for drunkenness in 1839, Harry Flashman enlists in the army, only to find himself, after getting into a duel, posted to Scotland, where he dishonors a young woman and is forced to marry her. To rebuild his reputation, he decides to go to India to try his luck there, where chance, his innate cowardice, and his talent for deception accidentally turn him into a hero of the British retreat from Kabul. Flashman is a despicable antihero, a cheeky rogue of the worst kind, and yet the narration of his adventures is incredibly entertaining and transports us to the era of the British Empire in a vivid way that is almost impossible to find in today's novels.
