ENGLISH DESCRIPTION La luz de la tierra / Light on Earth is the exhilarating continuation of La sal de la tierra / Salt on Earth, a magnificent medieval saga with conspiracies, vengeance, injustices, and passionate loves, written by one of the great masters of European historical novels. Duchy of Lorraine in 1218, after his fight against the clergy and nobility, merchant Michel de Fleury has become mayor of Varennes Saint-Jacques. His objectives are still the same: to reach justice and truth, and rebel against the powerful who have been oppressive for years. Michel's son Remy has a goal of opening a school where everyone can learn to read and write, that of course doesn't go over well with the head of the church who sees his long-time power threatened by Remy's intentions. When Varennes finally begins to thrive and become a model of commerce and education, Michel's enemies weave a petty network of conspiracies that will drag the city into deep poverty, one which they will only emerge from when the people themselves dare to face their oppressors. A splendid epic tale set in a rugged thirteenth century Europe.
