History


Alnæs, folkets historiker, skriver som en gud: Han gjenskaper verden gjennom Ordet. Du hører kanonene drønne og folk skrike av redsel i det tyrkerne oversvømmer Konstantinopel. Du kjenner stanken av sykdom og død på din, forfatterens og alle rottenes dramatiske ferd gjennom gatene i Europas pestrammede byer. Og hans mesterlige grep er at han forteller om det som du sjelden finner i tradisjonelle historiebøker: Vanlige mennesker. Det er garantert steder i Norge og på kontinentet som du i ettertid, etter å ha lest boka, vil besøke -- og hvor opplevelsene fra disse stedene kommer til å bli rikere nettopp fordi leseopplevelsen både har vekket hjerne og hjerte.
