About In A Dark Wood Wandering: A Novel Of The Middle Ages
Product Description In this novel, set in the 15th century during the Hundred Years War between France and England, Hella Haasse brilliantly captures all the drama of one of the great ages of history. From Publishers Weekly Charles d'Orleans (1394-1465), shy nephew of mad French king Charles VI, is the focus of this narrative, first published in the Netherlands in 1949. "This massive novel . . . is magisterial in its grasp of princely politics and military maneuvering in the era of the Hundred Years' War between France and England," said PW. "As a fictional narrative of private life and human emotion, however, it lacks the vital spark." 50,000 first printing; QPB selection. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. About the Author Hella S. Haasse has written 17 novels as well as poetry, plays and essays, and has received many honors and awards including the Netherlands State Award for Literature. Her books have been translated into English, French, German, Swedish, Italian, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian and Welsh.
