The brand new novel in Bernard Cornwell's number one bestselling
series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg. BBC2's major TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is
based on the first two books in the series. From the day it was
stolen from me I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg.The great
fort was built on a rock that was almost an island, it was massive,
it could only be approached on land by a single narrow track - and
it was mine. Britain is in a state of uneasy peace. Northumbria's
Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia's Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have
agreed a truce.And so England's greatest warrior, Uhtred of
Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his
traitorous uncle stole from him so many years ago - and which his
scheming cousin still occupies. But fate is inexorable and the
enemies Uhtred has made and the oaths he has sworn combine to
distract him from his dream of recapturing Bebbanburg. New enemies
enter into the fight for England's kingdoms: the redoubtable
Constantin of Scotland seizes an opportunity for conquest and leads
his armies south.Britain's precarious peace threatens to turn into
a war of annihilation. But Uhtred is determined that nothing,
neither the new enemies nor the old foes who combine against him,
will keep him from his birthright. He is the Lord of Bebbanburg,
but he will need all the skills he has learned in a lifetime of war
to make his dream come true.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
