THE LION OF CORTONA, Volume II: The Wide WorldCharles Van Doren's vivid and captivating tale of war and love, city-state and empire, church and commerce continues in Volume II: The Wide World. The reader will be drawn further into the lives of the Torreoni family and into the political maelstrom that was 13th-century Italy...and France also. Follow Nino to Paris, where he learns from Thomas Aquinas and from a lovely Comtesse. Meanwhile, Benno joins the army of the archbishop of Milan as he strives to prove himself and earn the right to claim his love. "But could you swim in armor? With your weapons?" Matteo could not get used to the idea that his friend actually knew how to stay afloat in water, which he deeply believed impossible for a man to do. After all, a man was not a fish! The country people believed that only witches and warlocks could swim, that it was wrong for a good Christian even to try. He shuddered, then tried to smile so Bernardo wouldn't recognize his suspicions.
