Fascinating account with Tim Severin following the path of the first crusaders journey to liberate Jerusalem. Like Duke Godfrey de Bouillon, whose epic story is told, Tim did it on horseback. ( ) I thought this was pretty disappointing. There was lots of interesting stuff in it, but just didn't meet my expectations - since he took a Jeep along on the trip, the whole journey seemed rather contrived. The worst problem was the copy editing - whole paragraphs are repeated, and there are lots of typos. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Nearly 900 years ago, Duke Godfrey de Bouillon set out on the First Crusade--and in our own time, author Tim Severin retraced his steps. The destination: Jerusalem, city of gold. For more than eight years, Severin followed the historic trail, riding through northern Europe's green countryside and into the heat of the Near East. In the process, he covered more than 2,500 miles by horse, past ruined Crusader settlements and ancient battlefields, over arduous mountain passes, and across Anatolian steppes. A dazzling synthesis of adventure, practical history, and exploration, told by one of our finest and most respected travel writers--illustrated with his own photographs.
