Описание:

""Pope Joan"has all the elements one wants in a historical drama love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets. Cross has written an engaging book."" Los Angeles Times Book Review
"
In this international bestseller, Donna Woolfolk Cross brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose strength of vision led her to defy the social restrictions of her day.
For a thousand years her existence has been denied. She is the legend that will not die - Pope Joan, the ninth-century woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female ever to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Now in this riveting novel, Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept.
Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. When her brother is brutally killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak and his identity and enters the monastery of Fulda. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great scholar and healer. Eventually, she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest office in Christendom wielding a power greater than any woman before or since. But such power always comes at a price . . .

"Brings the savage ninth century vividly to life in all its alien richness. An enthralling, scholarly historical novel."
--Rebecca Fraser, Author of The Brontes"

About the Author

Oscar Woolfolk Sr. was brought up in the west end of Louisville, KY. He spent a lot of his time hanging in thelocal Boys and Girls Club. Being a teenager at that time was very stressful you would either hang in the streets or at the Boys and Girls Club. Being there was where Woolfolk came into his own as an artist of song writing, arts and crafts, and singing. He never thought about writing until watching a bird fly around a mirror of a broken-down car for a week straight and then writing a story about it. Watching wildlife is what he loves to do and by doing so, his imagination woke up and expanded significantly since.
