Terry Deary Livres

Ah ! La vie au Moyen âge, les chevaliers et les jolies dames aux longs chapeaux pointus... Attention, ce livre va vous donner un autre son de cloche. Les chevaliers n'étaient pas de braves et nobles guerriers qui détendaient les paysans, mais de grosses brutes tordues qui saccageaient les récoltes. Il y avait la guerre, la famine, la peste noire, les paysans avaient pour noms " gueux " ou " serfs ", vivaient dans des conditions déplorables et mouraient très jeunes. Les riches, eux, s'amusaient... Toutes ces choses et bien d'autres encore racontées avec beaucoup d'humour donneront au lecteur une vision réaliste de ce qu'était vraiment cette époque. L'Histoire n'a jamais été aussi horrible !
