About this product
Product Information
*Includes pictures *Includes contemporary accounts of life on the island *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "This place Mont Saint-Michel's, in centuries of glows, and hundreds sounds of bells, in rising highs and lows. Where trust in God was true, like mountains stood high, in its conviction onto the heaven, blue deep and sky." - Peter S. Quinn, "Mont Saint-Michel" Fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise instantly fell in love with the brooding but majestic Minas Tirith, the mesmerizing entity boasting looming stone towers on every level. As with most brilliant works of art, a muse or source of inspiration was responsible. In this case, it is said that the magical city and circular fortress had been inspired by one very real island - the legendary Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France. The same island makes an appearance, complete with exquisitely rendered layouts, in the hit video games Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Revelations. Resting on the cradle of a rock formation 264 feet above ground, in the heart of a 97-hectare island on the coast and border of Normandy and Brittany, Mont Saint-Michel features a glorious cathedral atop a mighty mountain. Upon closer inspection, one notices the floating multilevel town that lies underneath it. Even from miles away, the picturesque view of the island emits an ethereal aura, set against the backdrop of the radiant coral-pink horizon. It looks straight out of a fantastical reverie as the church towers and its striking spire cast their reflection onto the glass-like surface of the blue-green bay. As spell-binding as the island appears, it is equally toxic, impregnated with thick billows of fog making for difficult vision, volatile quicksand pits that could snag one's feet in a split second, and of course, its notorious tides. They say fact is often stranger than fiction, and that certainly applies to the true history of the island, an unintentional breeding ground for sieges, tug-of-wars, conflicts, and even supernatural visions. The same island has experienced an ongoing identity crisis throughout the years of its existence, including stints as a pilgrimage site, military stronghold, and a state prison. Le Mont Saint-Michel: The History and Legacy of France's Most Famous Island Commune examines the history and legacy of the island over the course of 1,500 years. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Mont Saint-Michel like never before, in no time at all.

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
