AZINCOURT

La campagne de Vitoria, février à juin 1813. En ce printemps 1813, le commandant Richard Sharpe fonde de grands espoirs sur la nouvelle offensive militaire de l'armée britannique en Espagne. Mais la victoire finale repose sur la fragile alliance entre l'Espagne et la Grande-Bretagne, une alliance qui doit être maintenue à tout prix. Pierre Ducos, maître espion de Sa Majesté l'Empereur, va cependant tout mettre en oeuvre pour saborder les relations entre les deux pays et, parallèlement, se venger d'un terrible affront que Richard Sharpe lui a infligé par le passé. Sharpe, mis au ban de l'armée britannique, traqué par les partisans espagnols, pourchassé, par les Français, va devoir puiser dans ses dernières ressources pour dénouer les fils d'un incroyable complot susceptible d'entraîner la dislocation de l'alliance et de ternir à jamais son honneur. Il est encore loin d'imaginer que tous ces événements mèneront à l'une des batailles les plus étonnantes de la guerre de la Péninsule : la bataille de Vitoria.

A dramatic new departure for international bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, FOOLS AND MORTALS takes us into the heart of the Elizabethan era, long one of his favourite periods of British history.

 'With all the vivid history that is his trademark, Bernard Cornwell transports the readers to the playhouses, backstreets and palaces of Shakespeare's London with added depth and compassion' Philippa Gregory

 In the heart of Elizabethan England, young Richard Shakespeare dreams of a glittering career in the London playhouses, dominated by his older brother, William. But as a penniless actor with a silver tongue, Richard's onetime gratitude begins to sour, as does his family loyalty.

 So it is that Richard falls under suspicion when a priceless manuscript goes missing, forcing him into a high-stakes game of duplicity and betrayal, and through the darkest alleyways of the city.

 In this richly portrayed tour de force, Fools and Mortals takes you among the streets and palaces, scandals and rivalries, and lets you stand side-by-side with the men and women of Bernard Cornwell's masterful Elizabethan London.

Fools and Mortals

#1 Bestseller in the U. K. From the New York Times bestselling author and master of martial fiction comes the definitive, illustrated history of one of the greatest battles ever fought-a riveting nonfiction chronicle published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon's last stand. On June 18, 1815 the armies of France, Britain and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which it gave its name would become a landmark in European history. In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment, from Napoleon's daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, he brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles-as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the actual outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end. Published to coincide with the battle's bicentennial in 2015, Waterloo is a tense and gripping story of heroism and tragedy-and of the final battle that determined the fate of nineteenth-century Europe.
