An Ideal Addition to Every Home Library - A Beloved World History Classic for Generations

家庭书架优选，畅销百余年的世界史通识书

This book recounts the martial life of Richard I, King of England and Duke of Normandy-a ruler known to history as "Richard the Lionheart," for the ferocity and passion that burned within him like a lion's. The narrative focuses on his leadership of the Third Crusade, and on his greatest ambition: to reclaim the Holy City of Jerusalem from the Saracens. Though he never fulfilled this dream, Richard's campaigns demonstrated his extraordinary genius for military command-yet they also brought suffering to countless innocent lives.

Through these pages, readers gain a vivid glimpse into a medieval world where men were bound by the codes of chivalry, yet could also trample one another beneath the weight of their opposing faiths. A story of courage, cruelty, and conviction-and of a king who embodied both the glory and the tragedy of his age.

本书讲述了英格兰国王，同时也是诺曼底公爵的理查一世的战斗人生。他被称为"狮心王"，拥有着狮子一般的残忍和激情。本书着重描写了他所主导的十字军东征。从撒拉逊人收复圣城耶路撒冷，可以说是理查最大的理想。虽一生未能如愿，但在历次战争中，理查均展现出了他的战争指挥艺术，而与此同时，他也让无数无辜的人遭受痛苦。通过本书，读者可以窥见中世纪的一个侧面，人们会因骑士精神而惺惺相惜，却又会因不同的信仰而彼此践踏。
