Riassunto

Kidnapped and held to ransom by Duke Leopold of Austria after the Third Crusade, Richard the Lion Heart, it is said, was found by his faithful troubadour Blondel de Neel. But how? And what trials did the faithful and long-suffering lyricist have to overcome to find his king?

Gore Vidal paints a broad, colourful and poignant picture of a man searching for his master; for the symbolic king who is the goal of man's eternal quest; for the spiritual centre of his life.

Recensione:

Here Mr Vidal is at his best. . . As projector of a myth old as the Grail legend, the myth of the questing hero (THE NATION)

Mr Vidal's writing is lucid and persuasive, as one might imagine one of Blondel's ballads would be (THE NEW YORKER)

Descrizione del libro:

* A dramatic and fantastic allegory, interweaving historical characters with giants, dragons, werewolves, libidinous ladies of the manor and a very nasty vampire.
