Skanderbeg, Georgius Kastriotis, King of Albania, Prince of Epirus

Clement Clarke Moore

4.9/5 (24989 ratings)

Description:Since 1822, generations of children have grown listening to and reciting the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" every year. Clement Clark Moore wrote the poem as well as this biography of Georgius Kastriotis, surnamed Skanderbeg. Although Moore used anglicized words and the book lacks consistency when it mentions names and locations (e.g., "Lissa" is also written as "Lyssa"), the English language Moore used was 19th century every day New York English, being he was a New Yorker himself. This is the magic of his Skanderbeg, whose name he actually wrote with a "c" as in "Scanderbeg," instead of a "k." Skanderbeg remains an easy to read epic. Moore's simplicity makes this book one of the best, most compelling biographies ever put on paper. Although some of Moore's sources and narrative are disputed by recent findings, the book captures the military might of one of the three historic figures that delayed Ottoman expansion and gave Europe the opportunity to organize and defend against the Sultan, the other two being Janos Hunyadi and Vlad Tepes, also known as "Dracula." This ebook is a version of the original paper print. It is protected under copyright and intellectual property law because it contains edits and enhancements. For example: 1.

In addition, illustrations and certain peripheral information not essential to the book has been reserved. Finally, this version has been spellchecked.
