The novel “Spurs on Bare Feet” from the very first pages immerses us in the very thick of the heroic events of the glorious Twelfth Year. The great and hitherto invincible army of Napoleon is shamefully retreating, driven by the dashing attacks of hussar raiders and unexpected attacks of partisan bands. And it is already clear that in order to save their own lives, would-be conquerors will have to part with most of the captured booty... And there will also be a search for the treasures of the Kremlin, and a terrible defeat of the Army rearguard on the Berezina, and, of course, love - in defiance of the military oath, customs and even fate itself . This is how the fortune teller guessed, so the cards fell - and the hussar submitted! The new historical and adventure novel by the wonderful Belarusian writer Sergei Bulyga, “Spurs on Bare Feet,” can rightfully be called reviving the glorious traditions of the adventure novel in the style of Alexandre Dumas or Maurice Druon.
