About this audiobook
“The Beautiful Margaret” Henry Reider Haggard is an exciting historical and adventurous novel that carries the reader into the dramatic era of the end of the 15th century – the time of the rule of Henry VII in England and Isabella with Ferdinand in Spain. In the center of the story is the daughter of a wealthy London merchant, blinded Margaret Dean, whose beauty attracts the attention not only of her beloved, honest English noble Peter Brum, but also of the powerful Spanish Grand D'Agillar. A cowardly Spanish kidnaps the girl and takes her on ships to Spain, located in the shadows of the all-powerful and miserable Inquisition. The heroes will have to pass through the hurricane intrigue of the Spanish court, deadly duels, accusations of heresy and cruel trials of loyalty on the background of the historic fall of Granada and the catastrophe of the Mauritan domination. Haggard, with his characteristic skill, combines the Knight Romantic, dynamic pursuit and duels, transmitting the spirit of the era of Great Geographic Discoveries and Religious Wars. ** About what the book in three words:** Salvation, Inquisition, Honor. **Who to read:** Lovers of Knight novels and historical adventures, fans of stories about the salvation of beautiful ladies, duels and the Spanish Inquisition, as well as all lovers of the classic prose of Henry Ryder Haggard.
