  • "Uthred n'a que neuf ans quand il devient comte. Les Vikings, qui ont tué sa famille, ont un autre dessein pour lui. Uthred grandira à leurs côtés et respectera leurs dieux terrifiants. Ecartelé entre un royaume d'adoption et son peuple d'origine, un panthéon de divinités belliqueuses et le Christ pacifique, Uthred pourra-t-il bouter hors d'Angleterre ceux qui l'ont aimé comme un fils ?"

  • "In this first novel in a series about Alfred the Great and his descendants, Uhtred must choose between the people of his birth, in Northumbria, and the Viking people with whom he lived from the age of ten until adulthood. His allegiance becomes clear during the violence of war."@en
  • "Uhtred is an English boy, born into the aristocracy of ninth-century Northumbria. Orphaned at ten, he is captured and adopted by a Dane and taught the Viking ways. Yet Uhtred's fate is indissolubly bound up with Alfred, King of Wessex, who rules over the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault. The struggle between Christianity and paganism is the background to Uhtred's growing up. He is left uncertain of his loyalties but a slaughter in a winter dawn propels him to the English side and he will become a man just as the Danes launch their fiercest attack yet. When his wife and child vanish in the chaos of the Danish invasion, Uhtred is driven to face the greatest of the Viking chieftains in a battle beside the sea - and it is there that he discovers his true allegiance."@en
  • "An English boy is captured and raised by Vikings but his fate is tied to that of Alfred, the king of Wessex, the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault."
  • "In the middle years of the ninth century, the fierce Danes stormed onto British soil, hungry for spoils and conquest. Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until only one realm remained. Suddenly the fate of all England--and the course of history--depended upon one man, one king."

Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until but one realm remained. And suddenly the fate of all England'and the course of history'depended upon one man, one king. From New York Times bestselling storyteller Bernard Cornwell comes a rousing epic adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle as seen through the eyes of a young warrior who straddled two worlds."@en

  • "Uhtred is an English boy, born into the aristocracy of 9th century Northumbria. Orphaned at ten, he is captured and adopted by a Dane and taught the Viking ways. Yet Uhtred's fate is indissolubly bound up with Alfred, King of Wessex, who rules over the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault. Originally published: 2004."@en
  • "Nordengland im Jahre 866: Mit zehn Jahren erlebt der Fürstensohn Uhtred den Einfall der Wikinger. Sein ungestümer Mut in der Schlacht beeindruckt den Anführer der Dänen so sehr, dass er Uhtred verschont und als Ziehkind aufnimmt. Mit den Jahren wird der Junge fast einer von ihnen. Nach Raub- und Eroberungszügen voller Blut und Gewalt droht auch Wessex, das letzte der fünf angelsächsischen Königreiche, an die Eroberer zu fallen. Doch da wechselt Uhtred wieder die Seiten."
  • "HISTORICAL FICTION. The Last Kingdom, like most of Bernard Cornwell's books, is firmly based on true history. It is the first novel of a series that will tell the tale of Alfred the Great and his descendants and of the enemies they faced, Viking warriors like Ivar the Boneless and his feared brother, Ubba. Against their lives Bernard Cornwell has woven a story of divided loyalties, reluctant love and desperate heroism. In Uhtred, he has created one of his most interesting and heroic characters and in The Last Kingdom one of his most powerful and passionate novels."
