Product Information

Michael Morpurgo is an amazing author, having written loads of books for children of all ages, and different styles of favourite books - he will always have something for you! It is all about duty and honor, "living and dying" by the code and fighting against overwhelming odds. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it's more like having a well-read friend than a subscription to a literary review. Replacing something that had been lost when she started wanting to read on her own rather than being read to. the picture of decay and of moral decadence among the civilian elites (including the Christians) is easy to believe because it "feels" real, regardless of whether it was in fact true or not.

Il montre aux plus jeunes qu’il suffit parfois d'un rien, d'un chouïa, d'une relation causale infime pour que tel phénomène, inattendu, surgisse tandis qu'on ne l'attendait pas et inversement, pour que telle situation se profile alors qu'elle n'était aucunement escomptée. It's a historical fact that in one partiocularly severe winter in 400 and something AD, the Rhine froze over and the pent-up peoples East of the river flooded across, rampaging as they went.

Eagle in the Snow ( ISBN 1-59071-011-8) is a 1970 historical fiction novel, written by Wallace Breem, which revolves around the Roman general Paulinus Gaius Maximus, a Mithraist in an age of Christianization, in Britannia and Germania, between the late 4th century and the early 5th century. And it could've also been that one of the other soldiers he saved was one who smuggled Jewish ppl out of Germany during the war and or was in a resistant group and fought against Hitler.

Barney and his mother are traveling on a train when it needs to hide in a tunnel to avoid bombing by the German planes overhead. You might even see the freezing of the Rhine in 406 CE as weather changing history, although it certainly does not qualify as climate change. So the tones of the two books are somewhat different, with doom, gloom and despair building up little by little in this one. Michael Morpurgo, the author of WAR HORSE, brings us another amazing historical fiction story that is sure to touch the hearts of many.Combining the brilliantly realized battle action of Gates of Fire and the masterful characterization of Mary Renault's The Last of the Wine, Eagle in the Snow is nothing less than the novel of the fall of the Roman empire.
