Produktbeschreibung
A tale of duty, daring, and devotion unfolds against a wind-swept Brittany coastline. A voyage through honour, intrigue, and steadfast loyalty, Bertrand of Brittany invites readers into a world where chivalry endures beyond the margins of time. This restored edition brings Warwick Deeping's historical romance to life as a rich historical adventure novel set in medieval Brittany, a vivid meditation on the codes that bind a knight, a kingdom, and a fragile peace. The book's enduring appeal rests in its blend of period fiction classics with intimate, human drama-a tapestry of medieval chivalry themes, court intrigue, and the tension between personal desire and public duty. Its themes of duty and honour resonate as clearly today as they did in the early twentieth century fiction of Deeping's era, making it both a compelling read for newcomers and a cherished artefact for serious collectors. Historically significant and beautifully conceived, this edition invites annotated edition readers and illustrated edition collectors alike to a layered, immersive experience. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's readers and for future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a gateway to medieval Brittany, medieval france in the middle ages, and a venerable chapter in classic british historicals.
