Historica #33

Hermann's Le Torri di Bois-Maury: Verso Gerusalemme arrives in this 2015 Mondadori Historica hardcover, collecting the arc subtitled "William" entirely from the pen of Hermann. The cover, rendered with Hermann's characteristic gritty detail, presents an armored crusader bearing a boldly decorated shield in the foreground, while the background panels evoke a medieval stone fortress, a stormy coastal harbor with sailing ships, and the sweeping atmosphere of a journey toward the Holy Land. It's a handsomely produced volume that makes an immediate case for Hermann's skill in bringing the medieval world to vivid, grounded life.
