Description
The Crusades to the Holy Sepulchre undoubtedly represent one of the most captivating topics in medieval history. They are both a cruel historical drama and a romantic adventure novel of two centuries of battles for the Holy Land; a bloody tale of Turks and Greeks, Arabs and Assassins, Egyptians and Franks, Mongols and Mamluks, killing each other in the name of God. Legendary heroes and warriors such as Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Frederick Barbarossa, and Genghis Khan appear in it. The book takes us among the Crusaders in their new kingdoms in the Middle East, where they build massive, imposing castles while quickly adopting the previously unknown luxury of their enemies: baths, carpets, spices, and southern fruits. Here we find a readable and historically accurate depiction of events, and we will also savor the epic quality of the story from an outstanding artist and storyteller.
