Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
WINNER OF THE 2020 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION - THE SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED AN POST BOOK AWARDS NOVEL OF THE YEAR 'Richly
sensuous... something special' The Sunday Times 'A thing of shimmering
wonder' David Mitchell TWO EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE. A LOVE THAT DRAWS THEM
TOGETHER. A LOSS THAT THREATENS TO TEAR THEM APART. On a summer's day in
1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a
fever. Her twin brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for help. Why is
nobody at home? Their mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden
where she grows medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London.
Neither parent knows that one of the children will not survive the week.
Hamnet is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright. It is a
story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink
by grief. It is also the story of a kestrel and its mistress; flea that
boards a ship in Alexandria; and a glovemaker's son who flouts
convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender
and unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but
forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays
ever written.

The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry by Jahan Ramazani Ph.D., Richard Ellmann , et al.
"The most acute rendering of an era’s sensibility is its poetry," wrote
the editors in their preface to the first edition. Thirty years later,
this innovative, cover-to-cover revision renders with fresh eyes and
meticulous care the remarkable range of styles, subjects, and voices in
English-language poetry. The newly titled Norton Anthology of Modern and
Contemporary Poetry—now available in two paperback volumes—includes
1,596 poems by 195 poets (half of the poems are new), from Walt Whitman
and Thomas Hardy in the late nineteenth century to Anne Carson and
Sherman Alexie in the twenty-first. The Norton Anthology of Modern and
Contemporary Poetry continues to be the most comprehensive collection of
twentieth-century poetry in English. It richly represents the major
figures, while also giving full voice to ethnic American poetries,
experimental traditions, postcolonial poetry, and the long poem,
eclipsing all other anthologies in scope, clarity, and balance.
The Templar Revelation by Lynn Pickett, Clive Prince, et al.
In the course of their investigations into Leonardo da Vinci and the
Turin Shroud, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince found clues in the work of
the great Renaissance artist that pointed to the existence of a secret
underground religion. More clues were found in a twentieth-century
London church. These were the beginnings of a quest through time and
space that led the authors into the mysterious world of secret societies
and such bodies as the Freemasons, the Knights Templar and the Cathars
and finally back to the ideas and beliefs of the first century AD and a
devastating new view of the real character and motives of the founder of
Christianity and the roles of John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene.
They
reveal nothing less than a secret history, preserved through the
centuries but encoded in works of art and even in the great Gothic
cathedrals, whose revelation could shake the foundations of the Chruch.
The Way: Through a Field of Stars (A historical fantasy set on the Camino de Santiago) Book 1 of 1: Through a Field of Stars | by Brian John Skillen
On April 8, 2017, in the small town of Castrojeriz, I was first told
about a secret code of the Knights Templar on the Camino de Santiago.
This code inspired me to write The Way: Through a Field of Stars.
As I hiked the Camino across Spain, the things I saw, the people I met,
and the experiences I had all wove together into the perfect narrative.
Since that day, I have walked more than a thousand miles on the Camino
de Santiago doing research for this book series.

"Isabella cursed her father for sending her on this quest, but it was her only chance at freedom."
Sent by her father to locate the Knights Templar's greatest treasure--and save her kingdom from ruin--Princess Isabella of France finds one of seven secret doors that unlocks the Templars' mysterious treasure. With this discovery, she expects the mission to be easy. But when she is ambushed on the Camino de Santiago, Isabella is not only forced to seek refuge with the exact company she was sent to steal from, but she's unexpectedly reunited with her one true love, Etienne.
Shocked that the woman who'd betrayed him so long ago is now before him, Etienne is forced to put the past aside and do his duty as a Templar to help a pilgrim in need.
It's not long before the past catches up to them. Now they must both decide: to love again, or to remain loyal? Etienne is tied to his vow as a Templar, and Isabella to the will of her father. As Isabella and her unlikely companions journey across Spain, they unlock the Templars' secret codes, face immortal shadows, and discover the wisdom of the Camino de Santiago.
Isabella's quest leads her to love, friendship, and self-discovery--but if she's not careful, it could also lead to the destruction of the world.
"Even though this novel is a work of fiction, if you visit the Camino de Santiago today, you can still see the symbols and runes that inspired the secret Templar code, as well as the towns, cathedrals, and castles from the story. After reading this book, the Camino de Santiago 2021 will be a fun scavenger hunt."

A Brief History of the Knights Templar: Brief Histories by Helen Nicholson, John Telfer, et al.
Much has been written about the Knights Templar in recent years. A
leading specialist in the history of this legendary medieval order now
writes a full account of the Knights of the Order of the Temple of
Solomon, to give them their full title, bringing the latest findings to a
general audience. Putting many of the myths finally to rest, Nicholson
recounts a new history of these storm troopers of the papacy, founded
during the crusades but who got so rich and influential that they
challenged the power of kings.
The Knights Templar: From History to the Twenty-First Century Mission: Nine Hundred Years Since the Foundation of the Poor Knights of Christ in the Temple of Jerusalem (OSMTH Publications) (Volume 2) by Pasi Pollanen and Scott Simon
In the present book, the history of the Knights Templar and subjects
related to knighthood in general are analyzed from the perspective of
several authors. The purpose of the book is to celebrate the
nine-hundredth anniversary of the founding of a unique organization, the
Poor Knights of Christ in the Temple of Jerusalem, which has created
something permanent in spite of the stony road of the poor brethren and
their modern-day equivalents. The book was prepared for the Sovereign
Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem - OSMTH. This book is the
first to study the roots of the 19th century Neo-Templars
scientifically.
