Description
Red Eve is a historical novel with fantasy elements, by British writer H.
Rider Haggard, set in the reign of Edward III. Red Eve depicts the Battle of Crecy and the Black Death, and also features a supernatural personification of Death called Murgh.They knew nothing of it in England or all the Western countries in those days before Crecy was fought, when the third Edward sat upon the throne.
There was none to tell them of the doom that the East, whence come light and life, death and the decrees of God, had loosed upon the world.
Not one in a multitude in Europe had ever even heard of those vast lands of far Cathay peopled with hundreds of millions of cold- faced yellow men, lands which had grown very old before our own familiar states and empires were carved out of mountain, of forest, and of savage-haunted plain.
Yet if their eyes had been open so that they could see, well might they have trembled.
King, prince, priest, merchant, captain, citizen and poor labouring hind, well might they all have trembled when the East sent forth her gifts!
