The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou

The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou

"Destined to become a classic, The Road to Jerusalem is a brilliant, dramatic recreation of the medieval world."

--Sharon Kay Penman, New York Times bestselling author of Devil's Brood

 

Already an international sensation, The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou is the epic story of the Knights Templar. A major bestseller in Europe--with more than two million copies sold in Sweden alone--and the basis for the most lavish and expensive Swedish film ever made, it is a novel Diana Gabaldon  calls, "beautifully constructed...skillfully written and translated."  Historical fiction lovers, particularly fans of the sweeping, bestselling adventure novels of Bernard Cornwell, will be captivated by this magnificent tale of romance, faith, and battle set against the backdrop of the Crusades.

Swedish-born journalist Jan Guillou has won several international awards, including the Prix France Culture. He is the creator of two of the most successful series ever published in Sweden--the Hamilton series and the Crusades Trilogy. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
