This title was recommended by a Scandinavian friend after having discussed another author who uses the medieval period (slightly later) to write historical fiction. I am a detail oriented type and found this title to be a treat in that regard. Despite the exceptional detail, I was able to read it in a few days. How much did I like it? Answer: I have ordered the remainder of the trilogy. I'm having a hard time deciding how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I enjoyed learning a few things about Sweden (a country I know little about), and most of the characters are interesting, especially Arn and the monks who raised him. On the other hand, the author had some definite points he wanted to make and definite places he needed characters to be, so he's sometimes not terribly subtle with either his foreshadowing of certain people's fates or with the unlikely sequence of events (unlikely, because not even Arn should've been that stupid) that predetermines Arn's journey for the next two books. So while I didn't mind reading this, I don't feel the need to seek out the sequels, which will probably have even more heads being chopped off than this one did.
Plemić Arn Magnuson rođen leta gospodnjeg 1150. biva poslat na školovanje u manastir Varnhem zbog datog obećanja njegove majke. Tamo stiče najbolje duhovno i svetovno obrazovanje svog vremena a uči i da rukuje mačem i lukom, jer su monasi shvatili da Arnu nije suđeno da postane jedan od njih. Sa sedamnaest godina, bez mnogo životnog iskustva, ali kao učen i sposoban ratnik, Arn se vraća kući i odmah se upliće u intrige između suprotstavljenih pretendenata na presto. Na putu upoznaje dve sestre od kojih ga jedna zavodi a u drugu se zaljubljuje i sa obema deli krevet. Zbog ovog smrtnog greha biva osuđen na dvadesetogodišnju pokoru da služi kao vitez templar u Svetoj zemlji. Ovim počinje prvi deo neverovatno uspešne istorijske trilogije koja se nastavlja Vitezom templarom i Kraljevstvom na kraju puta. Jan Giju stvorio je neverovatnu priču iz vremena krstaških ratova koja je s velikim uspehom preneta na filmsko platno.

Detta är berättelsen om hur Arn, sedan han blivit moderlös, tas om hand av cisterciensermunkarna vid Varnhems kloster och av dem går den yppersta av sin tids andliga och världsliga bildning. Av den väldige broder Guilberg de Beaune lär han sig också hantera båge och svärd som en riddare utan fruktan och tadel. Ty cisterciensermunkarna har förstått att Arn nog inte är ämnad att bli en klosterbroder utan skulle kunna göra mera nytta som en Krsiti stridsman och trons försvarare i Det helgia landet.
