Synopsis
In November of 1095 Pope Urban II launched a holy war against the infidel. In 1464 a demented pontiff led an imaginary band of crusaders as far as an Adriatic port. Between these dates Europe was infected by a strangely persistent fever of mass idealism. Though outward zeal often cloaked the most cynical of motives, this universal spirit seized upon thousands - noblemen and peasants, warriors and scholars, ascetics and lechers, vagabonds and kings.Written by a prolific author of numerous histories, novels, drama, criticisms and verse it provides a lively and authentic account of two hundred years of war, sacred journeys and the quest for loot. Henry Treece gives flesh to many renowned figures: Charlemagne, Haroun-al-Raschid, Peter the Hermit, Richard the Lion-Heart, Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond, Saladin, Mourschid, Henry Dandolo, Frederick II, Louis the Oious and Genghis Khan.

À propos de l?auteur
Henry Treece had an impressive career as teacher, historian, actor, editor and author. His published work included critical essays, poems and a fictional cycle of prehistoric Britain. An English poet and historical novelist whose ability to bring the ancient world to life in fiction makes his work especially appealing to young readers. As a poet he - together with J.F. Hendry - was a founder of the New Apocalypse movement, a reaction against the politically oriented, machine-age literature and realist poetry of the 1930s. Treece was educated at Birmingham University. He became a schoolteacher, and later he served as intelligence officer in the Bomber Command during World War II.
