Capuche - Langeraar, Hotse

. .

Résumé :
Second Edition - Fully Illustrated With Historical Cathar and Templar Backgrounds An ancient manuscript lay dormant for eight centuries, waiting to impart a saga. Deep within the document - hidden in the words, under the ink, between the pages - shrouded in mystery, an entity needed to tell its story before moving on. It took one man's intuition to listen and discover its existence and find the voice in the parchment - this is the incredible story he was told: At the dawn of thirteenth-century England, Morvran ab moel Llywarch straddles two worlds. The Welsh Noble works for the mighty Diocese of Winchester, Rome's most powerful enclave in England. At the same time, he is Capuche, the leader of the mystical Cathars - a mysterious sect persecuted by Rome and the Inquisition as heretics. At the Diocese, Morvran witnesses the Church's brutality and abuse of a poverty-stricken population. He fights back as Capuche, and with the help of the Knight Templars, he stays one step ahead of Winchester's Bishop Peter des Roches' (died June 1238) torturous revenge. Morvran's situation complicates when he becomes involved with a Nun, and an irreversible chain of events sets in motion. Both have to leave their ecclesiastical worlds and turn to the Cathar communes - now hunted as heretics and as traitors. Can they escape the Catholic Church and the Inquisition's ever-tightening grip and avoid being burned at the stake? The voice in the parchment relates a riveting medieval narrative - one of hope and despair, cruelty and redemption, driven by a love persisting under the most arduous circumstances. Author Hotse Langeraar, an avid collector of Middle Age manuscripts, vividly puts the thirteenth century world into perspective, exploring the esoteric Cathars, Church corruption and the Templars' Crusades. A historical account based on actual events and personalities, this is an unforgettable journey into a dark past....

Biographie:
Growing up in Europe and being originally from the Netherlands, I spent many years in France and went to school in England. From early on the history apparent all around fascinated me -- a fascination expressed most recently in my latest book, Capuche.I left Europe for South America in the late 70s and lived and worked all over that continent as a commodities trader -- it was in Guayaquil Ecuador that my son Justin was born in 1980. From there we moved to the US, which was a dream come true and in 2001 I became a naturalized US citizen.From commodities, I turned to investment banking and I was a fixed income (bond) trader from 1990 to 2016. In 2012 I wrote the book Federal, a historical fiction about the Federal Reserve which most people believe to be part of the US government -- the truth though is that the central bank of the USA is a private bank whose ownership is clouded in mystery. If you want to learn more, read my book Federal ...Capuche, the book I referred to above, is a historical fiction about the dawn of 13th century England. It follows the life of a Welsh noble who becomes a Cathar and takes umbrage with the savage and brutal suppression of the Catholic Church and the Norman feudal law of the land. When he falls in love with a nun, his and her lives change from which there is no return and both have to endure the terrible wrath of the church. It is a story of passion and suffering, of love and redemption -- a tragedy based on real persons and events. I think you'll like it ......
