Originally published in 1916, the novel is set against the devastation of the First World War. The story follows the Desnoyers family, whose French and German connections place different members of the same family on opposite sides of the conflict. At the center of the story is Julio Desnoyers, a privileged young man in Paris whose carefree life is gradually transformed by the realities of war.

Ibáñez combines a sweeping war narrative with family conflict, love, political divisions and the destruction caused by modern warfare. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse became an international bestseller, particularly after its English translation, and was subsequently adapted for the cinema. The novel remains one of the best-known literary works dealing with the human cost of the First World War
