Produktbeschreibung
Capuche is a powerful historic fictional narrative grounded in factual events and personalities. In England, at the dawn of the 1200s, a well-educated Welsh Noble, Sir Morvran Llywarch, prefers a scholar's life over knighthood. In his search for knowledge and the mysterious, he embraces the eternal esoteric Cathar teachings and becomes one of their leaders known as Capuche. In this feudal world of brutal suppression, corruption, and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, the Gnostic ideology of the Cathars stand out as a beacon of hope -- but is a thorn in the eyes of the Church. And witnessing their savagery Capuche sets out to take from the Church and even the scales. When Morvran innovates bookmaking and falls in love with a nun, his life takes an irreversible turn. Their illicit love, his Cathar affiliation as Capuche, and nightly raids provoke the terrifying wrath of the Church. But uncovering Capuche's identity proves difficult, as the Cathars hide in plain sight, part of a population that loves and protects them. Capuche is a tragedy, a story of hope, passion, and suffering -- a mystical journey in search of the beyond and of love under the most arduous circumstances.
Autorenporträt
Growing up in Europe and being originally from the Netherlands, I spent many years in France and went to school in England. From early on the history apparent all around fascinated me -- a fascination expressed most recently in my latest book, Capuche.I left Europe for South America in the late 70s and lived and worked all over that continent as a commodities trader -- it was in Guayaquil Ecuador that my son Justin was born in 1980. From there we moved to the US, which was a dream come true and in 2001 I became a naturalized US citizen.From commodities, I turned to investment banking and I was a fixed income (bond) trader from 1990 to 2016. In 2012 I wrote the book Federal, a historical fiction about the Federal Reserve which most people believe to be part of the US government -- the truth though is that the central bank of the USA is a private bank whose ownership is clouded in mystery. If you want to learn more, read my book Federal ...Capuche, the book I referred to above, is a historical fiction about the dawn of 13th century England. It follows the life of a Welsh noble who becomes a Cathar and takes umbrage with the savage and brutal suppression of the Catholic Church and the Norman feudal law of the land. When he falls in love with a nun, his and her lives change from which there is no return and both have to endure the terrible wrath of the church. It is a story of passion and suffering, of love and redemption -- a tragedy based on real persons and events. I think you'll like it ...
