Imagine a land that has seen empires rise and fall. A place where people have killed for power and for religion, and a place where people have died to keep those secrets and beliefs. This is the Languedoc, and this is the book that will share the secrets of this incredible land with you. LABYRINTH told the story of Carcassonne and the search, across centuries, for the grail that people have long rumoured was taken to this place by the Templars fleeing the holy land. Building on Kate Mosse's meticulous research for her bestselling novel, Greg Mosse now shows how the region was home to the Cathars, who clung to this dramatic mountain landscape in stone fortresses and battled against siege, inquisition and massacre to keep their faith, and keep some much older secrets. An astonishing journey through history and across continents, SECRETS OF THE LABYRINTH will take you from the mountains of the Pyrenees, behind the fortified walls of Carcassonne and Montsegur, into the sacred cathedrals of Chartres and St Nazaire, and further out into the Holy Land and the ancient civilzations of Egypt. About The Author: Greg Mosse is a writer, translator and creative writing teacher. With his wife, Kate Mosse, he is also co-director of the Chichester writing festival.

Store Description

jdp books is a small, family owned bookseller, selling pre-owned books and a small selection of fine art, to the UK and worldwide. Our aim is to unite mainly academic readers and researchers with the knowledge they seek, and we would love our books to go to those who have a real interest in the subjects we hold. We value the ethos of sustainability and encourage the re-use of pre-owned books. We specialize primarily in History, the Classics and Archaeology, but we also hold a wide range of titles across many subjects, including some rare and out of print and first editions. We hold titles in Travel and exploration, Poetry, Literature, Politics, Art, Economics and more, and we hope to send our customers very good quality books with as little signs of wear as possible (depending, of course, on the age of the book). We also hold a small but growing number of art works, which we feel might be of interest to art lovers. Our dedicated team are happy to help with all enquiries and will try to ensure you find the book or artwork you are looking for.
