With Cross and Sword: The Adventures of Richard I the Lionheart
4 hrs. 47 min.
Description
The book by O.A. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaya—one of the most talented Russian historians of the Western Middle Ages—despite its small size, is a fundamental historical study and at the same time an excellent work for its “intrigue,” composition, and style. Using a language of amazing vividness and richness of colors, the author recreates a visible picture of the historical past and provides an excellent psychological characterization of Richard the Lionheart (“a dramatic figure of a brilliant adventurer and fearless wanderer over land and seas—a life full of dizzying successes and fateful failures”). The book will be interesting both to medieval historians and to a wide circle of readers fascinated by history.
