Marketa Lazarova Vancura Vladislav
Medieval Bohemia, the petty nobility nothing more than highwaymen, literally robber barons, and the king has to dispatch troops to restore order. Told in shifting perspectives, mixing the archaic with the modern, the elevated with the vulgar, Vancura's tale is a compressed epic, less historical novel (the history of his ancestors) than paean to honor, courage, life, carnality, and above all a love that undermines conventional notions of the profane as it shifts to a sacred outside the sanctions of religious dogma. Marketa Lazarova was promised to God at birth, destined to live her life in a convent, but she is abducted by one of the neighboring Kozlik clan and discovers her sensual self.
Cinematic in approach to draw the reader into In so doing, he shows the nexus between Crown and Church to subjugate those who prefer to follow their own natures over following imposed laws and precepts.
