In the tradition of his highly praised
best-seller Saruni, Edward Rutherfurd
uses the canvas of history as a back-
drop for a novel on an epic scale.
London presents the sweeping saga of
one of the greatest cities on earth-from
the days of the Romans through two
thousand years of history-as seen
through the eyes of generations of the
same six families.
London is both a unique narrative
exploration of the city's development
from humble trading post to the hub
of a mighty empire, and the very
human story of the men and women
who made it great. Through the com-
pelling lives and adventures of memo-
rable characters-Julius, the small-time
Roman coin forger, risking his life to
find buried treasure; Dame Barnikel,
who runs the tavern where Chaucer
and his pilgrims carouse; Geoffrey
Ducket, the founder of a dynasty
whose members one day become
peers of England; Edmund Meredith
and the actors in Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre; and little Lucy, living by
Dickens's muddy Thames-we watch
London grow from its first beginnings
and become part of the wonderful
pageant that flows on still today.
Here is a novel to savor and enjoy.
Once you have read this magnificent
story, you will never view London or
England in the same way again. Vissza
