Whilst working he managed to get a clear insight into how the publishing industry operated and what went into creating a strong novel, always retaining a keen interest in literature and the written word all the way throughout. His interest in history also helped him gain an insight into the material that he was going to be working with in the future as well, allowing him to inject a sense of realism and accuracy into his narratives and characters. Long and extensively researched, this passion for history that he’s kept with him throughout his life is clearly reflected in his novels and their huge and expansive narratives.

That said, I do not want to turn people away from reading this wook. It is a very, good solid three stars--just can't give it four. But the patient reader---especially if you like history --will find much to enjoy here. Hold-your-breath suspense, buccaneering adventure, and passionate tales of love and war.” — The Times (London) I vaguely expected the book to rapidly gloss over the olden times and spend 80% of time on the Victorian era - but it didn't. Actually, Rutherfurd paid a lot of detailed attention to the Middle Ages - a topic I've long been curious about, but only now delved into. Pomalo bizarno, i razočaravajuće, delovala mi je činjenica da je isti autor na isti način napravio knjige o Londonu, Parizu i Njujorku. Nemoguće je biti toliko posvećen, temeljan i prisutan u istoriji tako različitih mesta, mislio sam i odabrao londonsku priču, pre svega zbog britanskog porekla autora računajući da je tu na svom terenu, i emotivno a ne samo književno ili naučno, i zbog činjenice da je London uvek bio san, i zbog toga što zapravo vrlo malo znam o njegovom višemilenijumskom životu. I prijalo je čitanje, više no što sam mislio, i dovoljno da se nastavi, sa druga dva dela. Historical figures, such as Julius Caesar, Geoffrey Chaucer, Henry VIII, William Shakespeare, and Pocahontas, make appearances alongside fictional characters and historical kings and queens of England.

This article about a historical novel of the 1980s is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. London covers almost two thousand years of history and focuses on a few familial hereditary lines throughout that span of time. Each period of history that is selected by Rutherfurd is complemented by stories that focus on these families. But the stories are mostly rooted in domestic issues. Domestic problems such as infidelity, disobedient spouses, and marriage arrangements dominate every time period covered by Rutherfurd. The history is often provided in narrative form along side the domestic tales and, as a result, life and history move forward on parallel paths. These two vital components seldom merged into that powerful combination known as great historical fiction.Sarum (also titled Sarum: The Novel of England) is a work of historical fiction by Edward Rutherfurd, first published in 1987. It is Rutherfurd's literary debut. It tells the story of England through the tales of several families in and around the English city of Salisbury, the writer's hometown, from prehistoric times to 1985. [1] Characters [ edit ] In 2015 Edward Rutherfurd was the recipient of the City of Zaragoza's International Historical Novel Honor Award "for his body of work in the field of the historical novel." [7] Style [ edit ] Lazy and engrossing way to read History.Salt and pepper sprinklingl of anecdote and humour keeps the reader chipping along. I have read all of Rutherford’s novels. Never been disappointed and I look forward to the next one.
