Inhaltsangabe

This historical novel, "The Outlaw of Torn," was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs; he was the creator of Tarzan. This was Edgar's second novel; his first was a science fiction novel named "The Princess of Mars," and he is well known for his third work, "Tarzan of the Apes." The story of this novel is set in the 13th century in England and tells us about the fictitious outlaw Tom. He purportedly harried the nation at the time of a power struggle between King Henry III and Simon de Montfort. Norman, the supposed son of the Frenchman de Vac, the king's ex-fencing master, has a grudge against his former employer and raises the boy to be a simple, brutal human killing machine with a hatred of all things English. This novel has war, historical romance, and revenge, all together with courage and emotions.
