Crusader by Tim Severin

Crusader by Tim Severin

In 1987, Tim Severin and his companion travelled on horseback from Belgium to Jerusalem, retracing the route of 11th century Crusader knights. This book combines travel, adventure, exploration and medieval history, as the author disproves historical theories which have been held for 900 years. His journey took him through a wide range of climates and terrain, from Germany, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to the Anatolian Plains, Lebanon, the occupied territories and Jerusalem. Tim Severin is the author of "The Brendan Voyage", "The Sinbad Voyage", "The Jason Voyage" and "The Ulysses Voyage: Sea Search for the Odyssey". He has been awarded the Founder's Medal of the Royal Geographic Society.

Tim Severin, explorer, traveler, author, filmmaker, and lecturer, made his first expedition while he was still a student at Oxford: following the route of Marco Polo on a motorcycle. He has also re-created the journeys of Ulysses, Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad, and Hsu Fu (which required sailing across the Pacific on a bamboo raft). He lives in Ireland.

Jon Krakauer is the author of Into Thin Air, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and Into the Wild. His work has appeared in many magazines, including Outside, Smithsonian, and National Geographic. He chose the books in the Modern Library Exploration series for their literary merit and historical significance--and because he found them such a pleasure to read.
