Anotace knihy

"Under 2 Flags" is a classic Victorian sensation novel that explores themes of sacrifice, honor, and redemption against the backdrop of the French Foreign Legion. The story follows the aristocratic Bertie Cecil, a dashing guardsman who takes the blame for his younger brother's crime to protect the family name. Fleeing England, he disappears into the harsh and disciplined world of North Africa, assuming a new identity as a soldier in the Legion.

Amidst the scorching sands of Algeria, Cecil-now known as Victor-distinguishes himself through acts of immense bravery and stoicism. The narrative intertwines his military exploits with a complex emotional triangle involving Cigarette, a courageous and patriotic "daughter of the regiment" who falls deeply in love with him, and the noble Princess Venetia Corona, whose presence links him back to his former life. Ouida's most famous work is celebrated for its lush, emotive prose and its vivid portrayal of 19th-century military life. A sweeping epic of Victorian literature, "Under 2 Flags" remains a compelling study of high-stakes drama and romantic sacrifice.
