This is such a lovely little biography, and a lot of fun to read. The middle section, especially, is so personal and filled with little details that you don't find all that frequently in medieval sources. Thanks to Einhard we get to hear about Charlemagne's elephant, his hatred of doctors (they told Leggi tutto
"Durante todo este tiempo estallaron en distintos lugares tantas y tan grandes guerras contra los francos, y el rey las dirigió con tal habilidad, que, pensándolo bien, uno no sabe realmente qué cabe admirar más en él, su capacidad de resistencia o su buena suerte." Y continuando con el ciclo de Rold Leggi tutto

Obwohl das Werk viele Fehler enthält, ist es das wichtigste Dokument der karlischen Periode. Für alle Geschicht- und Mittelalterinteressierte unter euch, kann ich das Buch s Leggi tutto
I wish I could give this book 10 stars. The text itself is a wonderful medieval history written in the classical style and deserves 5 stars by itself. But reading this in the Folio Society edition was pure aesthetic enjoyment.

I am a bit of a history buff (RE: nut) and thoroughly enjoyed this short, well, biography I suppose. The best part of this text is the insight into the life and times of Charlemagne from the most contemporary of sources: a man within Charlemagne’s inner circle. Einhard also lays this book out in a m Leggi tutto
Looking for a bedtime book, I found this little thing tucked away amongst the biographies in the hallway--just the right length for the purpose. It's old and was probably picked up simply because it's the translation of a primary source. As it happens, it is the primary source for the life of Charles Leggi tutto
Une hagiographie de Charlemagne, sur le modèle « des douze vies de César » de Suetone, rédigée au IXe siècle par un écrivain de la cour de l'empereur et complétée par des lettres témoignant de la vie sous le règne des premiers Carolingiens. On peut lire.
