Reseña del libro "Sir Nigel (en Inglés)"

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- This book by Arthur Conan Doyle is the background story to his earlier novel The White Company, and describes the early life of that book's hero Nigel Loring, a knight in the service of King Edward III in the first phase of the Hundred Years' War. The character is loosely based on the historical knight Neil Loring. Chivalric deeds, bloody battles, bouts with ships, deeds of arms, chevauchées, robber barons and clever archers abound in this nice prequel to The White Company which follows the younger years of Sir Nigel, a minor noble of a house of great renown for the bravery of his knights, now down on its fortune after the premature death of its Lord (whose memory of heroic deeds is humorously capped by a I-slipped-on-a-bar-of soap kind of demise) and plagued by greedy men of the cloth brandishing injunctions like swords. The young and stalwart (and broke) squire Nigel dreams to live the life of the true knight, full of justice, honor, loyalty, courtesy and bravery. "Young and hot-headed with wild visions of dashing deeds and knight errantry", as skilled as candid, Nigel embarks in the adventure of his life and the reader follows him as he encounters his chivalrous warhorse, faces bureaucrat clergy, obstructs petty nobles and promises the love of his life to return after "worshipfully winning worship" following his King and Prince in France, "that land of chivalry and glory, the stage where name and fame were to be". From the English countryside to Poitiers, Doyle depicts the society of the time, its customs and particularly the flaws and virtues of its human types, the social inequality, with many parallels to the contemporary world. In the end, Sir Nigel returns to England where he weds Lady Mary. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!
