Dear Mr.Cornwell, I love your books from the medieval period and Uhtred’s adventures leave me glued to the pages you wrote no matter what. I would like to ask you, whether you agree with the claim that Uhtred is the “ultimate anti-hero”? To me, all the priests, christians(including Alfred) are the anti-heroes. Maybe it is because I come from a quite atheistic society(Czech republic) and the life of a so-called “pagan” sounds much more fun and rational to me(drinking, feasting and women) than a life of piety and asceticism. Uhtred’s conflicts with Christian priests are simply a delight to read! Could you comment on this? Greetings from Czech republic and keep up the great work! (apologies for the mistakes in my English)
