书籍简介

星期日泰晤士报畅销书

英国畅销的中世纪历史学家以令人难忘的方式生动再现了亨利五世的惊人崛起，他经历了叛乱、几乎致命的箭伤和漫长而危险的王子学徒期，成为英国伟大的战士国王。

“一位写作风格与任何引人入胜的小说家一样引人入胜的历史学家。”观察家

亨利五世只统治了英国九年零四个月，年仅 35 岁就去世了，但他在中世纪晚期及以后的时代中都享有盛誉。

阿金库尔战役的胜利者是继任者的模范国王。莎士比亚版本的亨利五世将他年轻时的愚蠢转变为冷静的政治才能，在二战的黑暗时期，亨利在法国的胜利被英国宣传所讲述。丘吉尔称亨利是“中世纪英国黑暗、动荡历史中的一丝光辉”，而对于一位现代中世纪学者来说，亨利简直就是“有史以来统治英国的伟大的人”。

对于丹·琼斯来说，亨利是整个中世纪历史上有趣的人物之一，但也是难捉摸的人物之一。他是一个冷酷无情、有时残忍的战士，但他也富有创造力和艺术天赋，有着书生气。他曾犯过很多错误，误判了他的朋友和家人，但在关键时刻似乎总能取得胜利。

作为国王，他拯救了一个支离破碎的国家，使其免于经济崩溃，平复了叛乱，保卫了英国的边境；在外交方面，他再次让英国成为一个重要的参与者。然而，通过征服法国北部，他为国内三代人的灾难埋下了祸根，即玫瑰战争。

丹·琼斯 (Dan Jones) 的《亨利五世的一生》以独特的方式深入探讨了亨利五世成为国王之前至关重要的 26 年人生。《亨利五世》既是一部独立的传记，也是丹的英国中世纪历史系列（从《金雀花王朝》和《空王冠》开始）的完结篇，是我们畅销的中世纪历史学家对这位英国伟大国王的精彩人生的不可错过的记录。

The instant Sunday Times bestseller

The UK's bestselling medieval historian brings unforgettably to life the astonishing rise of Henry V, who survived rebellion, a near-fatal arrow wound and a lengthy and precarious princely apprenticeship to become England's greatest warrior king.

'A historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist.' Observer

Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, and died at the age of just 35, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond.

The victor of Agincourt was a model king for his successors. Shakespeare's version of Henry V saw his youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship, and in the dark days of World War II, Henry's victories in France were recounted in British propaganda. Churchill called Henry 'a gleam of splendour in the dark, troubled story of medieval England', while for one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, 'the greatest man who ever ruled England'.

For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family members, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered.

As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions and secured England's borders; in foreign, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses.

Dan Jones's life of Henry V provides unprecedented insight into the critical first 26 years of his life before he became king. Both a standalone biography and a completion of Dan's sequence of English medieval histories that began with The Plantagenets and The Hollow Crown, Henry V is a thrilling and unmissable life of England's greatest king from our best-selling medieval historian.
