A sensational biography of the first emperor of the west by a popularizer of violent medieval monarchs. there is not much to be found here that is not in a translation of the medieval biography, but it is more direct than the "Song of Roland". Lamb was extremely popular as a writer of the adventure-pulp genre, and echoes of his works are found in the Indiana Jones" Canon. ( ) Novela histórica planteada más como un ensayo en bastantes partes del libro, que como una novela propiamente dicha. Puebla el texto con referencias bibliográficas sutilmente con lo que lo enriquece de manera muy interesante. Las descripciones de Carlomagno son muy buenas, así como de algunos de sus coétaneos como Alcuino. Obra interesante. Not my favorite book by Lamb as it did seem a bit slow at times. But, I appreciated the opportunity to read about an extremly influential leader. Lamb discusses some of the legends about Charlemagne and the more likely truth based on his research as well as telling the story Charlemagne. Lamb typically excels at relating biography/history with a novel like twist. I listened to this book with Audible.com. I really enjoyed the history of Charlemagne. I admire Charlemagne as one of the great leaders in history. He was a great warrior and cared about his people and appreciated the value of education. If I were to hold a great party with some of the greatest people in history, I would invite Jane Austen first, then Charlemagne and Hannibal (read his Harold Lamb biography!)and work out from there. Plato, of course, along with his buddy Socrates. Jane Austen, of course, would be the great "get"! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

El autor consigue integrar de modo convincente las diferentes facetas de Carlomagno (guerrero y habil politico con su preocupacion por el avance de las ciencias y el arte), y ademas aborda la lenyenda negra que siempre lo asocio a la vida disipada y mujeriega. Toda una novela para un personaje del que se sabe mucho menos de los que se piensa, y verlo en sus momentos criticos ayuda a comrender como se fraguo Europa.
