Savage Frontier traces the routes over the mountains taken by
monks, soldiers, poets, pilgrims and refugees, examining the lives
and events that have shaped the Pyrenees across the centuries. Its
cast of characters includes Napoleon, Hannibal and Charlemagne; the
eccentric British climber Lord Henry Russell; Francisco Sabate
Llopart, the Catalan anarchist who waged a lone war across the
Pyrenees against Franco for years after the Civil War; and the
cellist Pau Casals, who spent more than twenty-three years in exile
only a few miles from the Spanish border, to show his disapproval
of the regime. Acclaimed author Matthew Carr uncovers the
fascinating story of one of the most dramatic landscapes on
Earth-both a forbidding, mountainous frontier zone of stunning
beauty and a site of sharp conflict between nations and empires.
