[EAN: 9780712654197], [PU: Random House], PHILOSOPHY LOGIC LINGUISTICS, "A TOUR DE FORCE . . . London tracks the history of the English capital from the days of the Celts until the present time. . . . Breathtaking."--The Orlando Sentinel A master of epic historical fiction, Edward Rutherford gives us a sweeping novel of London, a glorious pageant spanning two thousand years. He brings this vibrant city's long and noble history alive through his saga of ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of a half-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the twentieth century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the Old World. Praise for London "Remarkable . . . The invasion by Julius Caesar's legions in 54 B.C. . . . The rise of chivalry and the Crusades . . . The building of the Globe theatre . . . and the coming of the Industrial Revolution. . . . What a delightful way to get the feel of London and of English history. . . . We witness first-hand the lust of Henry VIII. We overhear Geoffrey Chaucer deciding to write The Canterbury Tales. . . . Each episode is a punchy tale made up of bite-size chunks ending in tiny cliffhangers."--The New York Times "Hold-your-breath suspense, buccaneering adventure, and passionate tales of love and war."--The Times (London) "Fascinating . . . A sprawling epic."--San Francisco Chronicle Name on front endpaper, tape repair to spine at front endpaper 5.5 Centimeters X 16.5 Centimeters X 24.1 Centimeters, Books<

"In the tradition of his worldwide besteller Sarum, Edward Rutherfurd now presents the sweeping saga of one of the greatest cities on earth. This saga follows the River Thames as it flows through the heart of London - from the days of the Romans, through sixteen centuries to the Victorian engineers who gave London its world-famous Tower Bridge, all the way to the dockland development today - we watch London grow from ist first beginnings, hear the echoes in its stones and become part of the wonderful pageant that flows on still today."
