Format: Hardback

Condition: Very Good — £22.92
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Rond 1372 kwam op het luisterrijke kasteel Santpoort Jan van Brederode ter wereld in de meest gezegende omstandigheden. Een kleine veertig jaar later sneuvelde hij roemloos, als ridderlijke huurling, in de fameuze Slag bij Azincourt. Nobel streven reconstrueert, als een historische detective, de loop van dit bizarre leven tot in verbluffende details. Hoe Jan tot tweemaal toe met een gigantisch Hollands leger de Zuiderzee overstak voor oorlog tegen Friesland. Hoe hij naar Ierland reisde om in een onderaardse grot het helse vagevuur van Sint Patricius te voelen. Zijn jaren in het klooster, waarin hij een sprankelende Middelnederlandse tekst schreef. Zijn pogingen om de gigantische erfenis van zijn echtgenote te verwerven, en hoe hij daarvoor zelfs deze Johanna uit haar eigen klooster ontvoerde. En hoe zijn naam door heel Europa roemrucht zou worden: tot in Parijs, waar men over hem college gaf, en tot aan de Engelse koning Henry V." --Cover.
