Publisher's Synopsis
The discovery of some 800-year-old manuscripts gives rise to this fascinating adventure novel.
In it, the boy Iago de Trevigno will be immersed in the so-called "Children's Crusade" that left France at the beginning of the 13th century, and which inspired the children's story "The flatist of Hamelin".
Accompanying Ricardo, son of the Count of Remiremont, and the priest Pedro, a former crusader, Yago writes fiery letters to an old love of the Court. In them he masterfully captures an exciting chain of sorrows, joys, humiliations and anecdotes between humorous and sarcastic, which perfectly reflect the customs and religious spirit of the Christians and Muslims of the time, as well as the natural inclination of the human heart. toward kindness and other less praiseworthy behaviors.
The novel "Iago, his last crusade" is the most faithful description made to date of one of the two crusades known as "Children's Crusades."
This novel will seduce you from the first chapter, because all of it is History.
