The Lion of Cortona - Charles Van Doren - Bog

In the exciting conclusion to THE LION OF CORTONA, Volume III: The Return, secrets are revealed, strong women celebrated, warriors cheered and mourned. And we are reminded that history repeats itself. "My uncle says it's the way things are. The grandi in the countryside object to the new rules -- the Constitution, as it is usually called. They prefer the Constitution to be nothing but their own will, as it was in ancient days." * * * "I had a great time reading the Lion of Cortona. These books are serious fun, the best kind. Rich adventure set in 13th-century Italy, from a writer who knows the history, knows people, knows the place, and loves all three. A small and vulnerable city, Cortona, is at the center of the novels ... "By the time you're done, you may want to go yourself... and take the books' characters with you. They're an attractive bunch. *Sam Waterston, actor
