Klappentext zu „Merle, R: Fortunes of France 3 - Heretic Dawn “
The Périgord of sixteenth-century France is a wild region on the edge of the reaches of royal authority-its steep, forested valleys roamed by bands of brigands and gypsies, its communities divided by conflict between Catholics and converts to the new Protestant faith, the Huguenots.To this beautiful but dangerous country come two veterans of the French king's wars, Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre, The Brethren-as fiercely loyal to the crown as they are to their Huguenot religion. They make their home in the formidable chateau of Mespech, and the community they found prospers, but they are far from secure-religious civil war looms on the horizon, famine and plague stalk the land, and The Brethren must use all their wits to protect those they love from the chaos that threatens to sweep them away.
"The Brethren" is the first volume in the epic historical drama "Fortunes of France" -a lusty, exhilarating blend of adventure and romance set against the backdrop of a critical period in European history.
This revamped B-format edition is perfectly placed to capitalise on the success of the first edition last autumn. The sequel, "City of Wisdom and Blood," will be published in September, while the third instalment in the series, "Heretic Dawn", will follow in early 2016.00
Autoren-Porträt von Robert Merle
Robert Merle (1908-2004) was born in French Algeria, before moving to mainland France in 1918. Originally an English teacher, Merle served as an interpreter with British Expeditionary Force during the Second World War, and was captured by the German army at Dunkirk, the experience of which served as the basis for his Goncourt-prize-winning "Weekend at Zuydcoote". He published the 13 volumes of his hugely popular "Fortunes of France" series over four decades, from 1977 to 2003, the final volume appearing just a year before his death in 2004.
