Produktinformationen zu „Sword-Lily - The Last days of the Knights of Malta 1798 (ePub)“

Auguste-Émile Cillart de Kermainguy was born on August 26, 1809 at Chateau Locmaria in the French Province of Brittany. He hailed from an old and illustrious noble family with a strong military background. Had the Order and the knights still existed in his youth he may have well been sent to Malta to join that once highly-regarded and prestigious institution. He was a brilliant scholar and finished his studies in Paris where he became a lawyer. But he was more passionate about literature, history and poetry than he was about law. He travelled extensively in Europe and the Mediterranean and while he was in Malta he wrote three novels in which he describes what the island was like during the times of the Order of St. John. His novels were based not only on historic documents but also on interviews he had with some of the last remaining witnesses of those eventful times. According to the "Annuaire de la Noblesse de France" of 1854, De Kermainguy died at the young age of 45 after having contracted a disease from which he was unable recover due to his heartbreak from a love affair gone wrong.
This is De Kermainguy's third and last novel about the Knights of Malta in which he tells the story of Sword-Lily and her love for a young French nobleman who came to Malta from Brittany to become a knight.

Autoren-Porträt von Joe Scicluna

Born and raised on the island of Malta, Joe Scicluna has spent most of his life in the southeast of France, in the town of Grenoble nestled in the Alps. He draws a sense of balance from the stark contrast between this mountainous region and the sun-baked Mediterranean island which he still calls home. "As I get older, the more passionate I am becoming about the culture and the heritage of the Maltese islands" says Joe. It is precisely this passion that motivated him to publish his first two books which were translations from French of eyewitness accounts during the period of Napoleon's invasion and the subsequent occupation in 1798. Following on this same theme, Joe Scicluna has just launched his latest book which is a historical novel set in the early 19th century during the first years of Malta's British rule. The book, titled Ricasoli Soldier was inspired by true, but little-known, events that took place in 1807. Joe wants his readers to learn about Malta and what the Maltese lived through during those years of tumultuous change by means of this true but gripping story packed with suspense.
