Book Review:
Einhard's ''The Life of Charlemagne'' is one of the most important historical sources on the Frankish king and emperor. Written around 830 AD by a contemporary courtier, it covers Charlemagne's military campaigns, private life, and final years. This Folio Society edition, translated by Lewis Thorpe, is beautifully illustrated with images from medieval manuscripts. It offers a uniquely intimate portrait of a pivotal figure in European history. A classic work for anyone interested in the Middle Ages.
