Descriere:
During the political upheaval of Tudor-era England, the lawyer Matthew Shardlake must decide where his loyalties lie in "one of the best ongoing mystery series" for fans of Hilary Mantel (Christian Science Monitor). LONGLISTED FOR THE SIR WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION Spring, 1549. Two years after the death of Henry VIII, England is sliding into chaos. The nominal king, Edward VI, is eleven years old. His uncle, Edward Seymour, Lord Hertford, rules as Edward's regent and Protector. In the kingdom, radical Protestants are driving the old religion into extinction, while the Protector's prolonged war with Scotland has led to hyperinflation and economic collapse. Rebellion is stirring among the peasantry. Matthew Shardlake has been working as a lawyer in the service of Henry's younger daughter, the lady Elizabeth. The gruesome murder of one of Elizabeth's distant relations, rumored to be politically murdered, draws Shardlake and his companion Nicholas to the lady's summer estate, where a second murder is committed. As the kingdom explodes into rebellion, Nicholas is imprisoned for his loyalty, and Shardlake must decide where his loyalties lie -- with his kingdom, or with his lady? About the Author C.J. Sansom is the bestselling author of the critically-acclaimed Matthew Shardlake series, as well as the runaway #1 international bestsellers Dominion and Winter in Madrid. He lives in Sussex, England
Nota biografica:
CJ Sansom is a superb writer. Tombland tells a story centring around an often forgotten chapter of English history. Expensive, failed foreign wars led to debasement of English currency. This resulted in massive inflation. As always, the poor suffered most. Rapacious landowners enclose the commons for their sheep, thereby dispossessing poorer farmers who had used them for centuries to eke out a living. Rising inflation, a squeeze on earnings, selfish, corrupt elites, and a legal system that favours the rich, something must give. It does. Sansom tells the tale of the rebellion with his customary skill. He describes the leaders of the rebellion with sympathy. It is hard not to see the parallels with modern times.
