Los Cuatro Jinetes del Apocalipsis, as it was originally published in Spanish during 1916, tells a tangled tale of the French and German sons-in-law of an Argentinian landowner who find themselves fighting on opposite sides in the First World War. It was a literary and commercial sensation, the English translation by Charlotte Brewster Jordan becoming the best-selling book of 1919. It also propelled Rudolph Valentino to stardom in the 1921 film.
Julio Desnoyers tries to escape the dirt, blood, and horror of World War I. Why should he fight on foreign soil for a country that is his father’s land and not his own? But everywhere he turns, war and its ravages follow Julio, changing everything. His lover Marguerite no longer desires their old life of abandoned intimacy, and his father has no use for his cowardly, profligate son.
When Julio finally decides to fight, the world and his family know him for a different man.
