Sarum: A Novel of England
19.99 €
Sarum is the heart of England. A land shrouded in legend. A place where passions have simmered from time immemorial to the present day. It is here that the story of enmity and revenge between the Wilson and Shockley families unfolds over several millennia. A city that survived despite a terrible plague and a monstrous fire that almost destroyed medieval London. This is a fascinating account of the people who lived in the city from the time of the ancient Celtic tribes to the present day. A fascinating story of many generations of families whose fates were intertwined in this city: the legionaries of Julius Caesar who invaded the island two millennia ago, the Crusader knights who set out to conquer the Holy Land, witnesses to the turbulent family life of Henry VIII, participants in the construction of the Globe Theater, where Shakespeare's plays were performed, witnesses to the industrial revolution of our time. This is a novel for all those who have traveled to England and fallen in love with the country. This is a book for all those who have yet to visit it.
