Monastery. Scott V.

England, the second half of the 16th century. Religious passions and other ranges with Scotland continue to rage on the island. The children of the “Sinebord” Henry of the VIII Tudor, who once wanted to erase Edinburgh from the face of the earth, really do not know what to do next. The English throne, like a pawn, moves from corner to corner, from the heir to the heir: Edward, Maria, Elizabeth. When the Earth burns underfoot, and the head goes around, it is better not to find a place for a quiet monastery. The English knight Sir Pierce Shafton arrives in the deaf Scottish monastery. The purpose of this brave barbel is simple, like a blade in a sheath or a diamond in a case, he needs to fit for a while. But fate-prisoner prepares him a million slingshots and Zagogulin. Yes, what! Well, old pierces, hold on!

The next volume of the “adventure masters” includes the dashingly and multi -packed novel by Walter Scott “Monastery” - a book in which the great Scot allowed himself unheard of insolence - mixing realism with mysticism, history With fantasy. Without any discounts and halftones. The publication contains one and a half hundred original illustrations from the masters of ancient book graphics.
