ROBIN HOOD: THE UNKNOWN TEMPLAR
Book ID/图书代码: 10725008B29420
English Summary/英文概要: The legendary hero of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood, is a figure who has in equal measure attracted and baffled historians for decades. With the first mention of him coming in Old English ballads, it was long assumed that it was almost impossible that he ever existed at all, and that he firmly belonged in the realm of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and even Mel Brooks movies. Only a few historians have dared to venture that Robin of Sherwood was, in fact, a living and breathing human being.
Historian John Paul Davis, while undertaking research on the Knights Templar, has uncovered new evidence on the folk hero that suggests that his ties to that order were much closer than previously supposed. Sticking closely to historical sources as well as the ballads, Davis has produced a new portrait of this intriguing figure with colourful and unique insights into the era that he lived in, reckoned by Davis to be at least a hundred years closer to our own than previously supposed. Lavishly illustrated throughout, Robin Hood: The Unknown Templar will be of keen interest to anyone who has been even merely charmed by his legend; potentially explosive reading for those with their own theories of who Robin Hood really was...
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 舍伍德森林的传奇英雄罗宾汉,吸引却也困惑了历代的历史学家。他曾在英国的古老歌谣中出现,长期以来,人们一直认为他的存在几乎是不可能的,可是他却是Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner甚至是Mel Brooks电影中经久不衰的人物形象。只有少数的历史学家认为罗宾汉是一个真实存在过,有血有肉的人物。 历史学家Paul Davis对骑士团做过仔细的研究,发现了关于这个民间英雄确实存在过的新证据。紧密结合历史资料以及民间歌谣,Paul Davis对这位传奇人物以及他生活的时代有了全新的认识,Paul Davis认为罗宾汉生活的时代比我们先前认为的至少要提前100年。本书材料丰富,引人入胜,对于任何一个对罗宾汉传奇感兴趣的人都是不可多得的书籍,也能启发那些对罗宾汉人物形象有自己认识的人们。(兼职翻译-XAT)
