About This Book

Kirjoitus aloittaa skeptisellä tutkiskelulla legendaarisen aatelismiehen ympärillä levinneistä ristiriitaisista tarinoista ja pyrkii puhdistamaan hänen mainettaan arkistolöydöksiin perustuen. Sen jälkeen se kuvaa hänen elämäänsä maaseudun linnassa: goottilaisen rakennuksen sisustusta, seinäkuvia ja juhlatavaraa, linnan palvelusväkeä, kanavia, metsiä sekä metsästys- ja kalastusviettoja. Teksti yhdistää historiallisia pohdintoja ja kuvauksellista proosaa, tutkien muistin, kunnian ja yhteisön moraalin teemoja.
