LA NOVELA GANADORA DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA 2026«Ofrece una lectura simbólica, casi mítica, sobre la guerra, el poder y la resistencia. Una gran épica de los vencidos». -Del acta del Jurado
Año 1014. Tras derrotar a los búlgaros en la batalla de Klyuch, el emperador bizantino Basilio II ordena arrancar los ojos de los quince mil soldados del ejército enemigo, dejando tuerto a uno de cada cien hombres para que guíen a los ciegos de regreso a casa. Durante semanas, una columna de desarrapados recorre a tientas el largo camino hasta la capital búlgara, donde los recibe el zar Samuel, que ante el terrible espectáculo de sus hombres humillados, cae fulminado por la pena. Lo sucede en el trono su hijo Gavril, heredero de un imperio amenazado que deberá defender haciendo uso de la astucia para elevar la moral del pueblo después de la última derrota. Murallas afuera, los enemigos acechan, mientras en las calles de la ciudad los soldados intentan retomar sus vidas. Hay quien se esconde y guarda silencio, está el que descubre que sus manos pueden sustituir a la vista, algunos temen parecer monstruos y no falta aquel que hace un buen negocio vendiendo preciosas cuentas de cerámica que simulan ser ojos. Y entre todos ellos hay un escriba invidente que, incapacitado para copiar lo que ya fue escrito, vuelca en el pergamino una historia que crece en él: la de los quince mil ciegos y su inesperada revancha. Historia, inventiva y poesía confluyen en este magnífico retablo inspirado en las crónicas medievales y en uno de los episodios más crueles de las guerras bizantinas. El ejército ciego nos habla, con deliciosa ironía e ingenio, sobre las narrativas del pasado y sobre cómo el testimonio de los vencidos desaparece fácilmente en el olvido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE WINNING NOVEL OF THE 2026 ALFAGUARA PRIZE
"Offers a symbolic, almost mythical reading of war, power, and resistance. A great epic of the defeated." --from the Jury's citation Year 1014. After defeating the Bulgarians at the Battle of Klyuch, the Byzantine emperor Basil II orders the eyes of fifteen thousand enemy soldiers to be put out, leaving one man in every hundred with a single eye so that he may lead the blind back home. For weeks, a ragged column gropes its way along the long road to the Bulgarian capital, where they are received by Tsar Samuel, who, confronted with the terrible sight of his humiliated men, is struck dead by grief. He is succeeded on the throne by his son Gavril, heir to a threatened empire who must rely on cunning to raise the people's morale after the latest defeat. Beyond the city walls, enemies lie in wait, while in the streets soldiers attempt to resume their lives. Some hide and keep silent; others discover that their hands can replace sight; some fear appearing monstrous, and there is no shortage of those who make a good business selling precious ceramic beads that imitate eyes. And among them all there is a blind scribe who, unable to copy what has already been written, pours onto parchment a story that grows within him: that of the fifteen thousand blind men and their unexpected revenge. History, invention, and poetry converge in this magnificent tableau inspired by medieval chronicles and by one of the cruelest episodes of the Byzantine wars. The Blind Army speaks to us, with delightful irony and ingenuity, about the narratives of the past and about how the testimony of the defeated so easily vanishes into oblivion.

High-Quality, Long-Lasting Fabric Wallet - Exceptional Value
I recently purchased the Carhartt Men's Billfold and Passcase Wallet and have been nothing short of impressed with this product. Both its design and functionality have far surpassed my expectations, making it an indispensable accessory for daily use.
The moment I unboxed the wallet, the quality was immediately apparent. The fabric is thick and sturdy - a clear hallmark of Carhartt, renowned for its durable gear. The stitching is clean and robust, with no loose threads, reinforcing the fact that this wallet is built to stand up to heavy use.
The wallet’s design and layout are well thought out. With ample compartments for cash, cards, and identification, it allows for easy organization of your essentials. The separate passcase is an excellent feature that enhances the wallet's utility, offering quick access to your ID and frequently used cards. Despite the impressive storage capacity, the wallet maintains a slim profile, ensuring it fits comfortably in any pocket.
Aesthetically, this wallet doesn't disappoint either. The fabric has a rich color, giving it a rugged yet sophisticated look that's suitable for both casual and formal settings. The embossed Carhartt logo is a symbol of quality and durability that aligns with the brand's reputation.
What I truly appreciate is the wallet's longevity. Over time, it has proven its durability without any signs of wear and tear. The fabric has softened slightly for a more comfortable feel while maintaining its shape and strength.
In conclusion, the Carhartt Men's Billfold and Passcase Wallet offers exceptional value. If you're in need of a new wallet, I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Its superior quality, robust design, and practical features make it a smart investment that, I believe, will endure daily use for years to come.

Rugged, Reliable, and Built to Last
I picked up this Carhartt billfold wallet a while ago, and it’s exactly what I expected from the brand—tough, well-made, and built for everyday use. It’s holding up great, even after months of being stuffed in my pocket, dropped, and tossed around.
What I Like:
Durable Materials: The leather and stitching are rugged and high quality. It still looks good and hasn’t shown signs of wear.
Plenty of Storage: There’s more than enough space for cards, cash, and ID, and it doesn’t bulk up too much. The removable passcase is a nice bonus.
Classic Look: Clean, no-nonsense design. It has a workwear vibe that fits the Carhartt name perfectly.
Comfortable to Carry: Even fully loaded, it fits nicely in my back pocket without being uncomfortable or bulky.
Feels Like It'll Last for Years: You can tell this wallet was made with longevity in mind.
Final Thoughts:
If you want a simple, reliable wallet that won’t fall apart on you, this one’s a great pick. It looks good, performs even better, and lives up to the Carhartt name.
Highly recommend for anyone who values durability over flash.

Overall it's a pretty nice wallet, and its different, unique.
Color: Carhartt Brown
This is a nice wallet. I am deducting one star for the reason another buyer noted. The card pockets are extremely tight. A solution that I came up with was to take a plastic putty knife and push down inside the card pockets and stretch the material out, this helped a bunch! One thing I really like, the material is not as slick as a leather wallet, so if a person has trouble with their wallet sliding out of their pocket, I think this one would be less likely to do that. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.
