4.9/5 (9582 ratings)

Description:Millennium ago, Christian knights and princes descended on the Holy land to take back Jerusalem form Muslim conquerors, setting off a bitter struggle whose effects are still felt today. Ridley Scott, the master of epic cinema, sets Kingdom of Heaven during that 200-year collision between Europe and the East-at a time when the Christian King Baldwin IV and the Saracen general Saladin forged a brief truce amid the carnage of the Crusades. Drawn into this immense drama is the young French blacksmith Balian (Orlando Bloom), who becomes a reluctant Crusader yet a true knight. Sworn to serve to serve the king and uphold his fragile "kingdom of heaven," Balian is torn between knightly honour and his love for the king's sister, Sibylla (Eva Green). And when Jerusalem faces its greatest peril, he must use all his wits and courage to defend it against staggering odds. This gorgeous companion book, illustrated with more than 200 photos, drawings, and Ridley Scott's own storyboards, documents every side of this landmark production: the massive sets, fabulous costumes, and period weapons, the depiction of medieval warfare on a scale never before seen. But it also delves into the details of storycrafting that give Kingdom of Heaven its solid historical grounding, and features a lively primer on the Crusades that will expand readers' appreciation of both the film and the history behind it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
