ISBN: 9781585673148.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Cowper Powys has been described as a novelist of great, cumulative force and lyrical intensity . . . out of his rhapsodic style and keen attentiveness to nature, he builds a tower of prose to match the firmament (The Washington Post). Owen Glendower is his brilliant re-imagining of the life and exploits of Waless national hero.\nIt is the year 1400, and Wales is on the brink of a bloody revolt. At a market fair on the banks of the River Dee a mad rebel priest and his beautiful companion are condemned to be burned at the stake. To their rescue rides the unlikely figure of Rhisiart, a young Oxford scholar, whose fate will be entangled with that of Owen Glendower, the last true Prince of Wales--a man called, at times against his will, to fulfill the prophesied role of national redeemer. Psychologically complex, sensuous in its language, vivid in its evocation of a period shrouded by myth, Owen Glendower tells a compelling story of war, love, and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945094672437,"sku":"ByrdShop_1585673145","price":225.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781585673148_2f42a3a8-7fa3-4770-bad4-79c16bb65989.jpg?v=1778905755","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/owen-glendower-9781585673148","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
