Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Beau Geste" is a seminal masterpiece of adventure fiction that weaves a complex tapestry of mystery, courage, and fraternal devotion. When the priceless "Blue Water" sapphire vanishes from the home of Lady Brandon, the three Geste brothers-Michael, Digby, and John-each leave behind a confession and vanish into the night. Their paths lead them to the harsh and unforgiving landscape of North Africa, where they enlist in the legendary French Foreign Legion.Set against the backdrop of sun-scorched desert outposts and the brutal discipline of military life, the narrative explores the bonds of loyalty that unite the brothers even as they face the perils of desert warfare and internal treachery. The novel is celebrated for its gripping portrayal of the "Lost Legion" and its expertly constructed plot, which begins with the haunting image of a desert fort manned only by corpses.A true classic of its genre, "Beau Geste" remains a definitive tale of self-sacrifice and high adventure.
