The Sire de Maletroit's Door (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In 'The Sire de Maletroit's Door' we follow young Denis de Beaulieu, a veteran in the raging 'Hundred Years War' as he creeps through the streets of Burgundy trying to avoid patrolling enemy troops. As he attempts to make his way home he is almost discovered by the enemy and must take cover behind the nearest door. This sanctuary will bear a steep price however, as he comes to meet the contemptuous occupant of this house with their very unusual demands. With a fantastic twist, beautiful description emblematic of Stevenson's style and powerful incorporations of the idea of fate and destiny, this short is a must for lovers of drama and tension or those of you who loved Netflix's 'The King'.
