In \u003cb\u003eKing Hereafter\u003c\/b\u003e, Dorothy Dunnett's stage is the wild, half-pagan country of eleventh-century Scotland. Her hero is an ungainly young earl with a lowering brow and a taste for intrigue. He calls himself Thorfinn but his Christian name is Macbeth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDunnett depicts Macbeth's transformation from an angry boy who refuses to accept his meager share of the Orkney Islands to a suavely accomplished warrior who seizes an empire with the help of a wife as shrewd and valiant as himself. She creates characters who are at once wholly creatures of another time yet always recognizable--and she does so with such realism and immediacy that she once more elevates historical fiction into high art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375704031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Dorothy Dunnett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902082379957,"sku":"9780375704031","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_88b9d633-7402-404b-a3ad-a245867089bc.jpg?v=1733813074","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/king-hereafter-9780375704031","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
