The Eagle and the Songbird

Más información sobre el libro

He has never feared death-- not in battle, not in tournaments, not even the death he now faces. What he fears is oblivion and the fickle forgetfulness of history; or, worse, that his reign is remembered as a failure. Emperor Maximilian I launches an obsessive campaign, using the finest artists of his time, to manipulate future ages, and make certain history gets it right. Set in Renaissance Germany, The Eagle and the Songbird transports readers to another time and place in the company of artist Albrecht Dürer and composer Ludwig Senfl. Author Sara Schneider weaves history, art, music, and politics into an engrossing tale of seduction and betrayal.
