The White Company

Autor Arthur Conan Doyle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2008
A little-remembered novel from one of the pioneers of genre fiction, this 1891 work from the creator of Sherlock Holmes regales us with the adventures of Alleyne Edricson, a lad raised by monks in England who later becomes squire to a knight during the Hundred Years' War, in the late 14th century, and member of a band of archers, the White Company. Though all but forgotten today, this thrilling tale was hugely popular in its day, and remains a ripping good read. Fans of adventure drama and historical fiction will thrill to this forgotten classic from one of the most famous writers of pulp fiction. Scottish surgeon and political activist SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930) turned his passions into stories and novels, producing fiction and nonfiction works sometimes controversial (The Great Boer War, 1900), sometimes fanciful (The Coming of the Fairies, 1922), and sometimes legendary (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892).

Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.

"The White Companyis a lively romance, and very good reading for boys and friends of old times and tall knights." -Andrew Lang "Start a story by Conan Doyle and you cannot stop reading, whether you are ten or sixty."-Michael Dirda "The immense talent, passion and literary brilliance that Conan Doyle brought to his work gives him a unique place in English letters."-Stephen Fry Arthur Conan Doyle's The White Company (1891) is a vivid and action-packed historical adventure novel set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War in 14th century Western Europe. With Doyle's impeccable eye for historical accuracy, this chivalric tale of a motley gang of Saxon knights en route to battle in France is a breathtaking window into the medieval world. When Alleyne, a young Saxon noble-man who has been raised in a monastery comes of age, he is in accordance with his father's will, instructed to experience the outside world.
