Carl Ott: Bowman, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Welsh archer brothers, Bwadyn son of Rhyfel (Bowman) and his brother, Cledyfyn son of Rhyfel, (Smith) are devastated by the brutality of the Battle of Agincourt, and more so by the loss of their good friends. Afterward, the brothers go AWOL, both desiring a life not defined by the war. After leaving the battlefield, the brothers travel through the French countryside with the aid of a mysterious monk named, Brother Daneel, who guides them to Frisia. It is here Bowman decides his mission is to breed horses and acquires his first prized stallion. The bigger challenge is where will Welsh brothers settle to build their farm? While their interest in Andalusian stallions take them all the way to Spain, they embark on even greater journey across the sea to a brand-new world brimming with possibilities. The incredible story of Bowman is inspired by the legend of Madoc, a Welsh prince who sailed across the Atlantic and discovered a new world. Carl Ott weaves Bowman's adventurous tale from Agincourt to the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean. His writing his exceptionally contemporary as if Bowman is telling his own story. It is a great read for those who love historical fiction.
