S'està carregant… The Hermit of Eyton Forest (1987)de Ellis Peters
![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. It's a Cadfael book, so you know what to expect from the get-go: the good end happily and the bad unhappily, and our detective monk is an amiable companion in the process of figuring out whodunnit. ( ![]() Año 1142. Toda Inglaterra está desolada por la guerra civil. En la abadía de San Pedro y San Pablo, también surge un conflicto interno. Tras la muerte de Ricardo Ludel, señor de Eyton, su hijo de diez años, alumno de la abadía y también llamado Ricardo, se convierte en su sucesor. Su abuela, Dionisia, trata de imponerle un matrimonio de conveniencia al que él se resiste. Entretanto, la llegada a la abadía del ermitaño Cutredo, hasta entonces establecido en el bosque de Eyton, coincide con una serie de desdichas que afectan a la vida de los monjes, y se empieza a temer que éstas sean consecuencia de la ira divina. Pero fray Cadfael pronto averiguará que son obra de un despiadado asesino. A hermit & his apprentice appear & shortly news of a foul murder in London arrive at the abbey. A nobleman appears searching for the murderer & a passing merchant is found dead. Cadfael begins to wonder what all of this means. His search leads him to the hermit who is hiding something far more than his appearance. Good entry into the series, with some not obvious revelations reserved for the very end. I also noticed and appreciated more introspection by Brother Cadfael. a runaway serf, mysterious hermit, young heir, murder and marriage Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"Bodies and red herrings pile up in a satisfying way" in the Silver Dagger Award-winning medieval mystery series starring Brother Cadfael (Library Journal). The year is 1142, and England is in the grip of civil war. Within the cloisters of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, there begins a chain of events no less momentous than the upheavals of the outside world. It starts with the sad demise of Richard Ludel, Lord of Eyton, whose ten-year-old son and heir, also named Richard, is a pupil at the abbey. The boy refuses to surrender his newly inherited powers to Dionysia, his furious, formidable grandmother. A stranger to the region is the hermit Cuthred, who enjoys the protection of Lady Dionysia, and whose young companion, Hyacinth, befriends Richard. Despite his reputation for holiness, Cuthred's arrival heralds a series of mishaps for the monks. When a corpse is found in Eyton forest, Brother Cadfael must devote his knowledge of human nature to tracking down a ruthless murderer. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
