Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10623 ratings)

Description:Always an outcast -- whether as a captive among the nomad Pechenihs or (upon return to his native Kiev) as the grudgingly accepted servant of the master tilemaker -- Bern suffers deprivation and loneliness in stony silence. When the Pechenihs besiege the city, he realizes that by volunteering to sneak through the enemy lines and go for help he will have an opportunity to return to the barbarians and escape slaughter, but (after an audience with the revered Princess Ohla causes a sudden change of heart) he delivers the message after all and saves Kiev from destruction. Nothing in Bern's previous wretched existence prepares the way for this epic feat, but the reader who shares enough of his stoicism to endure the daily grind of wordless servitude will find a degree of redeeming solace in the painstakingly evoked background of the Ukraine in the tenth century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
