Book Synopsis The Path of the King by : John Buchan
Download or read book The Path of the King written by John Buchan. This book was released on 1921. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by a friend's hypothesis - that great leaders or creative geniuses, apparently from humble backgrounds, may have royal ancestry in their distant past, which will 2flare up3 at the appointed time - Buchan creates 14 self-sufficient stories, each set at different historical periods spanning 1000 years, linked only by the passing down through the generations of a gold ring, and the common surname of some of the tales' heroes. Each story hints at one person who lives to continue the line through history; the tales range from the era of Norse legend, via Norman England, mediaeval Bruges (an English heroine, wife of a Flemish merchant), a French king's envoy undertaking a fearful journey to Tartar lands during the Crusades; the 100 years war (Maid of Orleans and her admirers,) exploration in Columbus' time, Huguenot riots in Paris, Walter Raleigh dying on a voyage to West Indies, Oliver Cromwell debating regicide with his legal advisor, Catholic/Protestant feuds in 1600's London, a spy in Jacobite Scotland, 3 trappers in Kentucky, and finally, the death in Indiana of Nancy Linkhorn, mother of a future leader in the 19th century, the 2first American3 but also 2the last of the Kings3.

Book excerpt: "This is not a detailed autobiography or a comprehensive anthology, because my life demands neither. It is, however, a brief account of certain people and events in what has been an entertaining and unusual life not yet completed. The story begins during the early years of my immigrant father's life, who was born in 1889, and it spans my life through 2009."--p.xi.
