Conquest: The Making of England Quartet, cartea 1
Autor Stewart Binnsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2011
The battle is hard fought and bloody, the lives of thousands have been spent, including that of King Harold. But England will not be conquered easily, the Anglo-Saxons will not submit meekly to Norman rule.
Although his heroic deeds will nearly be lost to legend, one man unites the resistance. His name is Hereward of Bourne, the champion of the English. His honour, bravery and skill at arms will change the future of England. His is the legacy of the noble outlaw.
This is his story.

Recenzii
Stewart
Binns
has
produced
a
real
page-turner,
a
truly
stunning
adventure
story,
set
in
a
fascinating
and
crucial
time
in
history.
Whether
in
the
big,
set-piece
battles,
or
telling
the
story
of
the
romance
between
the
two
main
characters,
he
knows
how
to
hold
the
reader's
attention.
There
are
also
strong
themes
underpinning
all
the
activity
that
unfolds
-
people
in
a
struggle
for
freedom
and
justice,
people
trying
to
come
to
terms
with
their
own
demons
and
people
in
a
search
for
truth.
I
can
thoroughly
recommend
this
book.
Conquest is a wonderful book. A compelling story, it is both a chronicle of a dramatic adventure and a tale of an enduring romance between two remarkable people: the heroic Hereward of Bourne and his beguiling wife, Torfida of the Wildwood.
I could not put it down and read it in just three sessions. It is a gripping page-turner, beautifully written, replete with wonderful historical detail. The author paints amazingly vivid pictures and uses the language with great skill and warmth.
My grandfather, Winston Churchill, would have loved this book. It enlivens one of the most important periods in our history and is very faithful to real historical events. I suspect that if he had read Conquest before he completed his History of the English Speaking Peoples, he would have included an appropriate acknowledgement of the worthy deeds of Hereward and his loyal band of followers.
As a living legend myself, I know a lot about heroes!
This guy, Hereward of Bourne, is the real deal and this book brings him to life and the events around him in amazing detail.
I couldn't put it down. It's a gripping adventure story but the way the real events and characters are portrayed is a big bonus. History freaks will love it and those who don't know the period will want to know more.
Read it!
