L'ultimo re


Bernard Cornwell - Ed. Longanesi
Anno del Signore 866: quello che un giorno diventerà il regno d’Inghilterra è ancora una terra divisa in piccoli territori guidati da sovrani barbarici, appena convertiti al cristianesimo. La grandezza di Roma è un ricordo lontano, e dal mare giungono strane navi dalle polene simili a draghi, le murate ornate di scudi: portano uomini feroci, vichinghi , guerrieri del Nord, danesi soprattutto. Sono venuti per razziare, uccidere, distruggere ma anche conquistare. Il giovane Uhtred, erede al titolo di aldermanno di Bebbanburg, dopo la morte del padre viene adottato dal re normanno Ragnar: nel giro di pochi anni impara il valore del suo coraggio, apprende a battersi e ad andare per mare, conosce l’amore della selvaggia Brida e diventa per Ragnar come un figlio. Ma l’intrigo, la passione e infine il tradimento riportano Uhtred dal suo vecchio precettore Beocca, che lo presenta all’unico sovrano in grado di opporsi all’orda degli uomini del Nord: Alfredo, che un giorno verrà chiamato il Grande, è un uomo instabile di salute ma dotato di animo acuto, che intuisce quanto gli può essere utile Uhtred. Per riconquistare il suo titolo, Uhtred comincia una seconda esistenza sotto il segno di Dio e dell’ultimo re libero degli Angli. Ma prima di poter vincere la definitiva battaglia lo aspetta ciò che ha sempre temuto e al tempo stesso atteso, per diventare un vero guerriero: affrontare il nemico in campo aperto, nel Muro di Scudi, la prova suprema per un uomo d’arme dell’alto Medioevo.
CHE COSA NE PENSI? VOTO 8 1/2
Inizio a scrivere recensiono di questo maestro del romanzo storico con questo libro, primo di una nuova serie che si presuppone emozionante come le altre. Essendo ambientato nella britannia medievale si può considerare quasi come il seguito della saga di Excalibur dove troviamo protagonisti Artù e Derfel anche se in questo caso il pesonaggio principale é proprio uno degli tanto odiati sassoni assalitori della Britannia. Travolti dalla serie di vicende che coinvolgono Uhtred ci si trova catapultati nel magnifico mondo dell'Inghilterra medievale.

Hi

I am new to this site. Loads of individuals have added so many good things here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week, you are believably not searching for a common diet and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a common diet and work out plan, However this demands a lot of time doing intense cardio workouts and adhering a strict diet. Here I will outline the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a week.

1. Stay away from all deep-fried foods for the week
2. Drink In an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast each day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat Up reasonable portions (stop taking when you are full)
4. Rather than taking 3 huge a meals a day, take 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Do not eat anything after 9pm. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Take proper sleep every night. Not taking adequate sleep causes been verified to be a leading element to the body storing excess fat.
7. Utilize a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of excess fat stored close to the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that makes you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those people who want to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an superior method of burning weight quickly.

Thanks![url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com].[/url]!

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally hails from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

So I did it -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-Red%252di-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Red[/url] and I am very happy to say that I am extremely pleased. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it blew me away. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was very fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Really happy...
