Synopsis
In the latter half of the 13th century, Christian Europe again sought to prise the Holy Land out of the grasp of the Infidel. Tens of thousands took up the Cross - some for the greater glory of God, others for baser motives: lust for power, for riches, for revenge. The Crusader telis the story of the seventh and last Crusade, as experienced by a young Spanish nobleman, Francisco de Montcada. He is the hero of this novel, but his tale is told by his former friend and a fellow acolyte, a venal and moderately trustworthy Cistercian monk named Brother Lucas. For Francisco has returned from the Levant a broken and seemingly possessed man. The Inquisition decree that his tortured soul be exorcized and the task falls to Brother Lucas. Eschewing the Inquisition's more usual methods, the monk sits with the silent, emaciated knight in his cell-and talks to him. Slowly, tentatively, Francisco begins to recount his story - a tale of how a honourable man took up the Cross and found not the glory and redemption for which he'd yearned but instead unimaginable crueity, barbarism and bloodshed. Set against a thrillingly authentic historical backdrop, this stirring novel of religious fervour and human passions, of greed and betrayal, and love and war, brings a tumultuous era brilliantly to life.

Etat : Bueno. : En la última mitad del siglo XIII, la Europa cristiana buscó nuevamente arrebatar Tierra Santa de las manos del Infiel. Decenas de miles tomaron la Cruz, algunos por la mayor gloria de Dios, otros por motivos más bajos: lujuria por el poder, por las riquezas, por la venganza. El Cruzado cuenta la historia de la séptima y última Cruzada, según la experimentó un joven noble español, Francisco de Montcada. Él es el héroe de esta novela, pero su historia la cuenta su antiguo amigo y compañero acólito, un monje cisterciense venal y moderadamente confiable llamado Hermano Lucas. Francisco ha regresado del Levante como un hombre destrozado y aparentemente poseído. La Inquisición decreta que su alma torturada sea exorcizada y la tarea recae en el Hermano Lucas. Evitando los métodos más habituales de la Inquisición, el monje se sienta con el caballero silencioso y demacrado en su celda y habla con él. Lentamente, tentativamente, Francisco comienza a contar su historia: una historia de cómo un hombre honorable tomó la Cruz y no encontró la gloria y la redención que anhelaba, sino una crueldad, un barbarismo y un derramamiento de sangre inimaginables. En un contexto histórico emocionante y auténtico, esta conmovedora novela de fervor religioso y pasiones humanas, de codicia y traición, y de amor y guerra, da vida brillantemente a una era tumultuosa.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The Crusader (2003) by Michael Eisner ? Bantam Books As sold by Crappy Old Books Ever wonder what happens when a 12th-century knight crashes into 21st-century corporate America? Neither did we. But Michael Eisner ? yes, that Michael Eisner ? went ahead and wrote The Crusader anyway. In this surprisingly earnest, occasionally bonkers novel, a headstrong museum curator stumbles on an ancient secret that sends her down a rabbit hole of medieval mayhem, religious relics, and possibly the world?s least plausible conspiracy. Enter a mysterious figure who may or may not be a time-traveling Templar ? or just a guy really committed to cosplay. Originally released by Bantam Books in 2003 and now rescued from the dusty corners of literary oblivion by Crappy Old Books, The Crusader is equal parts thriller, historical romp, and corporate fever dream. Is it good? Who?s to say? But it?s definitely something. Perfect for fans of: Ancient orders with modern agendas Plots that involve both swords and suits Books you can read ironically or maybe enjoy unironically after a glass of wine Good condition, like new, but has a ring mark from a cup of something on the cover.
