Eagle in the Snow | Review - Dane Cobain Michael Morpurgo – An Eagle in the Snow | Review - Dane Cobain

By the end of three months the legion had doubled its original size and the men were getting fit. At the end of a twenty mile march in the pouring rain, their clothes sodden and their feet sore, they could erect a camp complete with defenses in the space of forty minutes and then fight a sixty minute action afterwards."Când se termină o bătălie, însă, ei bine, lucrurile se schimbă. Iar bătălia aceea se terminase. În jurul nostru zăceau morți și răniți, unii flăcăi de-ai noștri, dar cei mai mulți de-ai lor. Atunci te uiți la ce-ai făcut. Victoria era a noastră, dar nu se simțeam victorioși. Așa e mereu. Nu te bucuri. N-ai un moment de triumf. Nu simți decât ușurare. Trăiam. Cel puțin deocamdată. Scăpaserăm cu viață.

Maximus ultimately receives no support from any other Roman legion, reflecting the fractured, disaggregated and self-interested nature of the Empire's far-flung nations. The ending is inevitable - though such is the emotive monologue by Maximus that one can't help but feel hope and optimism at each turn in the ultimate series of battles. Henry Tandey said in some press interview: "I didn't like to shoot a wounded man, but if I'd known who this corporal would turn out to be, I'd give ten years now to have five minutes' clairvoyance then."

The thing that stopped it from being a 5* book for me was the pace and POV. I'm not a lover of first person perspective in books and, while I can cope with that on a pacy, exciting read, I found the novel hard going at times.I finished this fairly recently after having had it recommended to me by several different people and heard it called the 'seminal work of Roman fiction'.

Henry Tandey is a hero and I wish he will be remembered for all his heroism and all the good things he did and not as "the man who didn't shoot Hitler." Sure, if he would've killed him in the first world war, maybe there wouldn't have been a second war, maybe there wouldn't have been so many death, misery, suffering, pain, grief and horror.. (that is, if it the soldier he spared really was Hitler, which no one can know with certainty now) Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments For more information about the work of Farms for City Children, please visit www.farmsforcitychildren.org

An Eagle in the Snow by Michael Morpurgo - review

travers l’histoire incroyable et stupéfiante de Billy Byron, Michael Morpurgo illustre la très scientifique « théorie du chaos ». Il montre aux plus jeunes qu’il suffit parfois d'un rien, d'un chouïa, d'une relation causale infime pour que tel phénomène, inattendu, surgisse tandis qu'on ne l'attendait pas et inversement, pour que telle situation se profile alors qu'elle n'était aucunement escomptée. David Wood, chair of Action for Children’s Arts, said Morpurgo is “one of our greatest storytellers”.

Breem paints a very detailed and accurate picture of life in Maximus' world. This historical novel is as solid in its history as documentation and archaeology allowed in the late `60s, and the liberties taken seem to be few and forgivable. He draws a very vivid exposition of existence at the ends of the Roman earth. He elicits emotion through the subtle interplay between characters and through Maximus' monologue.
