1503, the era of the Renaissance and the Italian Wars. That year, Leonardo was attempting to capture the Mona Lisa's smile, Michelangelo was nearly completing his marble David, and the Neapolitan city of Barletta was under siege by iron hordes of French troops. The defending garrison, composed of Italians and Spaniards, was beginning to savage with hunger. The soldiers were ready to gnaw on the butts of their arquebuses. Despite the sun, the clouds over the city were only gathering. A detachment of prisoners arrived in Barletta with provisions, behaving rather strangely and daringly. And behind them, in the confusion, two more shady characters infiltrated the city. Something more terrible than a storm seems to be afoot. The latest volume of this adventure series includes the brilliant "Ettore Fieramosca, or the Tournament at Barletta," a masterpiece of Italian chivalric romance, Massimo d'Azeglio. Cunning and love, honor and treachery, the furious clash of swords and the cold fury of a spear piercing steel. A time of lofty emotions and ballads, long since forgotten, comes alive in the pages of this astonishing story. The book includes over 70 original illustrations from a 19th-century edition.
