Novela histórica sobre la primera Cruzada. Está muy bien escrita y refleja tanto la épica y la mística como las miserias de esta empresa humana. Los cambios que sufre el protagonista a medida que va teniendo nuevas experiencias están muy bien integrados y las descripciones de batallas y lugares están estupendas. Fácil de leer.
Worth reading, especially for the social comment and vaguely philosophical ruminations. No, this book is fiction, regardless of the introduction. It is somewhat graphic at times in its representation of the time period, under the banner of accuracy, but should not offend greatly.
A Booke of Days has a few surprises, although a well clued-up reader will have already guessed some of them.
