From the very first pages, the novel "Spurs on Bare Feet" plunges us into the thick of the heroic events of the glorious Twelfth Year. Napoleon's great and invincible army is shamefully retreating, driven by the dashing swoops of hussar raiders and unexpected attacks of partisan vatag. And it is already clear that in order to save their own lives, the unfortunate conquerors will have to part with most of the captured booty... And there will also be searches for the Kremlin's treasures, and the terrible defeat of the Army's rearguard on the Berezina, and, of course, love - contrary to the military oath, customs and even fate itself. So the fortuneteller guessed, so the cards lay down - and the hussar obeyed! The new historical and adventurous novel by the wonderful Belarusian writer Sergei Bulyga "Spurs on bare feet" can rightfully be called reviving the glorious traditions of an adventure novel in the style of Alexander Dumas or Maurice Druon.
