Autor Steven Runcimanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 noi 2016
'On a February day in the year AD 638 the Caliph Omar entered Jerusalem, riding upon a white camel'
An enthralling work of grand historical narrative, Steven Runciman's A History of the Crusades overturned the traditional view of the Crusades as a romantic Christian adventure, and instead shifted the focus of the story to the East. With verve and drama, volume one of Runciman's trilogy tells the story of the First Crusade - from its unlikely beginnings in pilgrimage to the horrors of the siege of Jerusalem and the carving out of new territory on the edge of the eastern Mediterranean.
