Omschrijving

Under the Flag of France is a historical fiction novel written by David Ker and first published in 1908. The book tells the story of Bertrand Du Guesclin, a French knight and military commander who lived in the 14th century. The novel follows Du Guesclin's rise to power, as he becomes one of the most important figures in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The story begins with Du Guesclin as a young boy, living in poverty with his family in Brittany. Despite his humble origins, he is determined to become a knight and serve his country. He joins the French army and quickly rises through the ranks, thanks to his bravery and tactical skill on the battlefield. As the war between France and England intensifies, Du Guesclin becomes a key player in the conflict. He leads French troops to victory in several battles and earns the respect of his fellow soldiers and the French king. However, he also faces personal challenges, including betrayal by his own countrymen and the loss of his beloved wife. Throughout the novel, Ker vividly portrays the brutality of medieval warfare and the political machinations of the time. He also paints a compelling portrait of Du Guesclin, a complex and fascinating historical figure who has been largely forgotten by modern audiences. Overall, Under the Flag of France is a gripping tale of war, love, and honor, set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent periods in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
