I'd (seriously) recommend the book "Azincourt" - it's main character is an English longbowman during the 100-years war, who witness the Battle of Azincourt. The book is written in a VERY interesting, fresh manner, and while it's historically accurate, it's still damn exiting.
Would love the irony of a French reading the English version of the Battle of Azincourt :p
humm I need to see this book...
My 600 old bloody french ancestor may want to kill me for that but my ancestor lived for about 400 years in Quebec so fuck those old French tradition! Me too I wanna laugh at French disaster! (keep hope french grand'pa I'll read about how Guillaume le Conquérant swept England from Harold to calm you!)
(ps author: Bernard Cornwell publication 2008 title for normal (or people with a bit of French knowledge) people : Azincourt for American : Agincourt (the ''z'' was too much for my South neighbor
)I like Poe... but the translation by Baudelaire is like... OMG... Awesome! Seriously I read some of them in English and wouldn't even recognize them if there was of the name...
