The lives of highborn English, Welsh and French families intersect and painfully collide through complex ties of royal kinship: Montfort's wife, Nell is sister to King Henry III, one of England's most incompetent monarchs. The novel initially suffers from a dual focus, however, since Penman is equally concerned with the descendants of Llewelyn Farr of The Sunne in Splendour, who united the Welsh lords in an uneasy peace. Penman, a writer whose fidelity to historical detail is matched by her gift for narrative, makes Simon, Earl of Leicester, one of her central characters in this sweeping, dramatic saga set in the 13th century. The histories of France and England were significantly shaped by the causes he espoused and the battles he fought. ![]() It is a mystery why Simon de Montfort's name is not as instantly recognizable as those of Charlemagne and Richard the Lionhearted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Published in Mexico by the Fondo de Cultura Económica in 1953, Rulfo’s short stories, together with his only other book, the novel “Pedro Páramo” (1955), established his international reputation as one of the 20th century’s greatest writers of fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() And what a book it is - a collection of short stories widely considered to be among the finest in world literature, taking its place with de Maupassant, Chekhov, Poe, Borges and other gods of the genre.
