NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Rutherford brings England’s New Forest to life” ( The Seattle Times ) in this companion to the critically acclaimed SarumFrom the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day, the New Forest, along England’s southern coast, has remained an almost mythical place. It is here that Saxon and Norman kings rode forth with their hunting parties, and where William the Conqueror’s son Rufus was mysteriously killed. The mighty oaks of the forest were used to build the ships for Admiral Nelson’s navy, and the fishermen who lived in Christchurch and Lymington helped Sir Francis Drake fight off the Spanish Armada.The New Forest is the perfect backdrop for the families who people this epic story. The feuds, wars, loyalties, and passions of many hundreds of years reach their climax in a crime that shatters the decorous society of Bath in the days of Jane Austen, whose family lived on the edge of the Forest.Edward Rutherfurd is a master storyteller whose sense of place and character—both fictional and historical—is at its most vibrant in The Forest.“As entertaining as Sarum and Rutherford’s other sweeping novel of British history, London. ”— The Boston Globe

Brilliantly weaving impeccable historical research with stirring storytelling, Edward Rutherfurd explores our shared Celtic roots in a magnificent epic of Ireland spanning eleven centuries. While vividly conveying the passions and struggles that shaped particularly the character of Dublin, Rutherfurd portrays the major events in Irish history: the tribal culture of pagan Ireland; the mission of Saint Patrick; the coming of the Vikings; the making of treasures like the Book of Kells; and the tricks of Henry II, which gave England its first foothold in medieval Ireland. Through the interlocking stories of a memorable cast of characters–druids and chieftains, monks and smugglers, noblewomen and farmwives, laborers and orphans, rebels and cowards–Rutherfurd captures the essence of a place and its people in a thrilling story steeped in the tragedy and glory that are Ireland.

Rozsáhlý dvoudílný historický epos o založení a postupném rozvoji Dublinu ve své první části popisuje historii Irska zhruba od pozdní doby ledové až po reformaci za Jindřicha VIII. v 16. století Prostřednictvím lehce nahozených dramatických příběhů řady smyšlených hrdinů se čtenář stává svědkem vzniku tohoto města a jeho narůstající moci od éry mýtů a legend až do historických mezníků v jeho rozvoji. Autor se snaží přiblížit etapu zápasů o moc mezi jednotlivými královstvími úsilí o sjednocení pod ústřední vládou a především jeho snahy o samostatnost. Ve velkolepé mozaice provází čtenáře nejen dějinami Irska, ale snaží se zachytit i neopakovatelné kouzlo tohoto kraje a postihnout svérázný charakter lidí, kteří jej od nepaměti obývají. Jako ve svých předcházejících románech i zde autor postupoval na základě dochovaných historických pramenů, třebaže musel některé detaily ze starších historických období fabulovat.
