Sarum: The Novel of England

Edward Rutherfurd, 1992

In Sarum, Edward Rutherfurd creates a masterpiece of breathtaking scope — a brilliantly conceived and superbly written epic novel that traces the entire turbulent course of English history. From primitive beginnings almost 10,000 years ago to the medieval world of knights and ladies, from the bloody civil war to colonial preeminence in the nineteenth century, right up until the present day, this is a magnificent story that until now has never been told. This rich tapestry weaves a compelling saga of five families — the Wilsons, the Masons, the family of Porteus, the Shockleys, and the Godfreys — who preserve their own particular characteristics over successive generations and reflect the changing character of Britain. As their fates and fortunes intertwine over the course of the centuries, their greater destinies offer a fascinating glimpse into the future. A rich and absorbing historical chronicle, Sarum is a keen tale of struggle and adventure, a profound human drama, and a masterful work of sheer storytelling. Подробнее

Dublin

Edward Rutherfurd, 2005

Edward Rutherfurd's great Irish epic reveals the story of the people of Ireland through the focal point of the island's capital city. The epic begins in pre-Christian Ireland during the reign of the fierce and powerful High Kings at Tara, with the tale of two lovers, the princely Conall and the ravishing Deirdre, whose travails echo the ancient Celtic legend of Cuchulainn. From this stirring beginning, Rutherfurd takes the reader on a graphically realised journey through the centuries. Through the interlocking stories of a powerfully-imagined cast of characters — druids and chieftains, monks and smugglers, merchants and mercenaries, noblewomen, rebels and cowards — we see Ireland through the lens of its greatest city.
