Description du livre
The emperor's personality is brought to life against a background rich with the varied cultures he united through Christianity. Out of the lowering darkness of devil-ridden, pagan Europe in the Middle Ages emerges the towering figure of Charlemagne, the King-Warrior who showed the Saxons and the Slavs the power of the Christian sword, united Europe, and made himself titular ruler of the Continent. A powerful and vivid biography of one of the world's greatest kings and conquerors -- Charlemagne.
