Sobre o evento
HENGIST
Driven by jealousy, a brother's betrayal sets a young boy adrift on the hostile sea, expecting him to perish. Instead, he survives, growing into a formidable warlord and eventually becoming the first Anglo-Saxon king of Britain. "HENGIST" chronicles his tumultuous journey from exile to power, revealing the complex truths behind his rise and the bitter conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and the Britons.
Join Hengist and his warband as they navigate treacherous waters and witness the early skirmishes that will shape the fate of Britain. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's research, this novel intricately weaves historical events with legend, presenting Hengist as a multifaceted figure whose actions echo through the annals of history.
From the author of the acclaimed Arthurian Age series, "HENGIST" is a gripping tale of ambition, survival, and the relentless pursuit of power, steeped in rich historical detail and compelling storytelling. Prepare to embark on an epic adventure that explores the dawn of a new era in British history.
The author, Sean Poage, is best known for his “Arthurian Age” trilogy, which is a hugely detailed bringing-to-life of the Arthur=Riothamus theory of the late historian Geoffrey Ashe. This novella, _Hengest_, fits neatly with that trilogy in two ways. Firstly, and most straight-forwardly, it is a prequel, ending, in 428, exactly where the first(*) novel in the trilogy begins, just before the Germanic chieftain Hengest and his warband arrive in Britain (as attested in later sources, both Anglo-Saxon and British). Secondly, it does the same thing that Poage’s trilogy does for Ashe, but for Tolkien. Yes, that Tolkien — J R R. But not Tolkien in his role as chronicler of the fictional world of Middle Earth. Rather, Tolkien in the role of Professor of English language and literature
