Items related to The Road To Jerusalem: Volume 1 The Crusades Trilogy:...
The hero of this phenomenally successful historical trilogy is Arn Magnusson, born in 1150 to an aristocratic Swedish family. THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM covers his childhood and education at the Cistercian monastry of Varnhem. There he is taught the best of spiritual and worldly learning, as well as being trained to become a master archer and swordsman by the giant Brother Guilbert, a former knight. At seventeen, equipped to become a monk or a warrior, Arn returns home, a young man and yet an innocent in the ways of the world. Two sisters cross his path: one seduces him, while with the other, Cecilia, he falls deeply in love. In loving two sisters he has committed a crime punishable by both civil and clerical authorities, and he is sentenced to serve 20 years as a Knight Templar in the Holy Land.
THE KNIGHT TEMPLAR (Volume 2 to be published 2002) recounts Arn¿s experiences as an occupation officer in Palestine and in volume 3, THE KINGDOM AT THE END OF THE ROAD (to be published 2003), Arn leaves Jerusalem a changed man. He returns to a Sweden torn apart by feudal infighting in which his family is deeply embroiled; and to Cecilia, the love of his youth, who was banished to a nunnery for the period he was in the Holy Land.

Review:
Book Description:
‘He has a remarkable grasp of the mindset of the period and always puts the emphasis where it would be for the people involved at hat time, rather than ours. Some readers may find that disorienting, but a capacity for disturbing readers’ assumptions is even more a hallmark of good historical fiction than the inclusion of the Knights Templar’
Diana Gabaldon
'Thrilling and inspiring, bloody and romantic; utterly of its time and utterly modern’
Tom Holland
'Destined to become a classic, a brilliant and dramatic recreation of the medieval world' Sharon Penman
The first in the wonderful Crusades trilogy - a huge bestseller in Sweden.
