About This Book

A satirical tale opens when an angel's misplayed trumpet raises soldiers who perished defending their fortress, depositing them into an unfamiliar, later-age landscape. The resurrected warriors and their retainers confront bewildering changes, mislaid possessions, and mistaken identities while the narrator contrasts medieval customs with modern political habits. Through comic set pieces and ironic comparisons the narrative explores how familiar character types reappear under altered social conditions, mixing historical detail with contemporary political caricature and playful supernatural invention.
