BOOK ONE: ISABELLE DE BOURBON, THE COURTIER.

The first gleam of the dawn tore apart the veil of mist, whilst two riders neared the town in silence.

The first of them was a rudy and placid man, clad in red cloth, with the bearing of a noble and the form of a man who in younger years had been warlike and vigorous, and in the older, merry and restful; dark and thick had once been his curls, now stricken with the silver of maturity, but his eyes were the same since he was just the Count of Clermont, a young lad wagging wars in the darkest days of his time: Raven eyes, small, dark and penetrating. The eyes of Bourbon.

Closely, his child followed; a young lady of the age of eight, who did not resembled her noble sire, but whose spirit already showed the virtues present in all of her kin. Her hair, braided and modestly dressed with a velvet hood, was a dark auburn, and the dark green dress she wore underneath her gray riding cloak made her face look fairer.

The shadows vanished, and Château de Chinon, legendary dwelling of Bourbons, appeared before their eyes. The young lady would never forget how the fortress stood in the distance, nestled on the high ground like a dragon of stone and history, as if its walls emerged from the entrails of that blessed land, and as she stared in awe from the saddle of her white palfrey, she would have swore upon her very soul, that Chinon stared her back too. At its stony feet, the Vienne river ran through the village, whispering undying legends of chivalry and war to all who listened.

“This shall be thy domain, my dear daughter” the man told his daughter, and his voice carried that accent that lives only the speak of those who dwell in the lands of Auvergne, “Upon my death, this land, that once was mine, shall become thine, and only thine.”

A flock of birds crossed the sky, and the child gripped the reins of her palfrey.

“Father, this place as always belonged to the blood of Bourbon…” she humbly said, “If I am to marry a man who shares not our bloodline, this domains…”

“… This domains shall still belong to thee and, once Death brings thee to their realm, it shall belong to thy heir too. And fear not, my child: Thy husband, Bourbon of name or not, shall not take thy name from you, nor thy claim, nor thy spirit” the father replied, and let out one last statement: “The blood of Bourbon never dies, my child: Royalty shall end, nobility shall end, our times shall past, but our name… It shall last.”

The child raised her head, and a faint smile of pride curved her lips: She would dearly remember that day, and that promise, until the very day it torn all apart.

“I will honour our name” she swore too, and her father smiled.

“Yes, thou shall” the noble man affirmed, “Now, let us go back to our path; Burgundy awaits thee, Isabelle.”

كرة القدم ؛ الحياة على الطريقة البرازيلية

تتبع الكاتب منشأ كرة القدم هناك و كيف بدأت ، لقاءات مع رؤوساء و ملاك الأندية و أشهر اللاعبين .

كيف بدأت كرة القدم ، وكيف تأثرت حياة البرازيليين بعدها ، كمية البطولات و فوضويتها أحياناً

مشاكل الرؤساء و الفساد ، العنصرية - وهو أكثر شيء فاجأني - ، احتراف اللاعبين في أوروبا ، أداء المنتخب في كأس العالم بنسخه المختلفة ... الخ ؛ ختمها بأشهر الفرق و معلومات عنها << الجزء الذي أهملته عدا فريقين 😙

كتاب من القطع الكبير ، ممتع لمحبي هذه الرياضة و مشجعيها ؛ بدأته تزامناً مع كأس العالم الماضي قطعته فترة و أكملته قريباً

بالنسبة لي استمتعت كثيراً على طوله ، كرة القدم و البرازيل كلها أشياء تثير فضولي زيادة على أن السرد في الكتاب مقارب للسيرة في كل فصل منه .

Tak (lagi) dirindui ngaji

"kamu bukan kurang ngaji, jangan-jangan memang engga dirindukan oleh forum-forum ngaji"

ctarrrr!!! kayak ditampar. pedes banget. jawaban mba keuangan usai jamaah maghrib saat saya mengeluh bahwa jiwa saya rasanya kosong butuh asupan ruhani, butuh ngaji.

sumpah rasanya sedih banget. bukan saya sedih atas kalimat yang dilontarkan mba keuangan, tapi saya sedih atas diri saya sendiri. saya mengasihani diri saya sendiri betapa saya sudah begitu jauh dari mengingatNya.

alih-alih sibuk justeru saya lalai kepadaNya. ramadan yang mestinya menjadi momentum perbaikan ibadah sepertinya saya telah menyia-nyiakannya. 10 hari pertama ramadan saya hanya mampu membaca setengah kitabnya, sangat jarang ibadah sunnah sedang wajib saja ala kadarnya. astagfirulloh :(

jangan-jangan betul kata mba keuangan, saya tidak lagi dirindui oleh majelis ngaji, jangan-jangan hati saya sudah mati sebab tak pernah saya sirami. astagfirulloh :(

kurang dari 20 hari ramadan usai, Rabb beri kami kesempatan (lagi) memperbaiki diri kami memperbaiki ibadah kami, memperbaiki akhlak kami.

tuntun kami ya Rabb :(
