The twelve-year friendship between a Frankish king and an Arab doctor,
began with:
"An Arab physician named Abu Suleiman Dawud was responsible for his health. When his condition worsened, Dawud's brother taught Baldwin to ride a horse one-handed."
Jerusalem: The Biography
and ended with:
"He was not yet twenty-four when he died."
The History of the Overseas Lands
* First-person narration, from the doctor's perspective.
* The historical research is not especially thorough.
* I did get into this through the film Kingdom of Heaven, but this story leans more toward historical fiction.
* Some parts of this story, around the middle, are linked to another book on this site. If you find it, I recommend giving it a read.
Theme: Triumph and failure can come in a moment, but rise and decline shape a lifetime.
It's so well written... It makes me feel so heartbroken that it feels like I'm back to the time when I watched the movie qvq
A very good article, the knowledge required is beyond human reach, and it is so excellent that it is beyond words...
The last sentence is really like a knife made of ice, piercing in with extreme coldness. In the hot summer, the sun is as bright as a dream, and we are immersed in the unknown expectation of the future... Suddenly back to reality, maybe he will never have such a good summer again.
The new era is good, the new era is good, you can see the gods descending to earth without an altar, woo woo woo!!!! Teacher, I love you so much, I love your narration, the slowly flowing feeling is fascinating!!!!!
Too strong... Shocked to the point of speechlessness
Wow! During the coronation ceremony, the goshawk landed on the crown. It seemed that the future was bright and he also had a great future, but we knew the ending in advance... Yes, he was still so sincere and brave, which made people even sadder. He would lower his voice and use an equal attitude to ask Dr. Suleiman anxiously if he was willing. It was not a cold and high-profile order, but he was worried about whether it would make his friends uncomfortable, and he cared about the doctor's mood.
'Since you drank my blood, do you want to become my believer?' Hey!! A bit unexpectedly frivolous. Ah, a bit of a double-entendre comeback, 'All men thirst for the blood of the infidels'
Forgive my poor language, but thank you teacher for writing this story. Now I am bursting with tears ❤️
I read it for the fourth time... I couldn't help crying at the end. TT This is my favorite article...!
If the teacher sees it, can you please leave your contact information? I'm jumping into the trap vertically, I want to write about Bao Bao fans but I don't know where to start [Maotou]
