A rose forever - E-book - ePub

Arose forever is the story of a journey into conjecture and self-knowledge. The occasion is a working holiday in Provence by the author and his family. The wandering scholar stumbles upon a loosely bound collection of reports offered to him by a pedlar in the small village of Velleron. The reader is invited to discover the contents of the diary, whilst joining the author in learning about royal weddings arranged for the sake of power, the tradition of wandering minstrels, spirituality, the visual arts, and authentic hospitality.
Close ties between such distant courts as Henry III's in London and Frederick II's in Palermo reveal a surprisingly modern European stage.
