Anne of Geierstein, Volume 1 by Sir Walter Scott ~ Full Audiobook [history]

Anne of Geierstein, Volume 1 by Sir Walter Scott audiobook. Genre: history In Anne of Geierstein, Volume 1, Sir Walter Scott transports listeners to late-15th-century Europe, where the clash between the rising Swiss Confederacy and the power of Burgundy turns travel into peril and diplomacy into a game of survival. A young English traveler, Arthur Philipson, and his older companion and guide, Dr. Hendrik, set out across the Alps on a journey that is part pilgrimage, part secret errand, and wholly dangerous in a continent fractured by war, shifting loyalties, and suspicious borders. Their path leads them to the rugged stronghold of Geierstein and to Anne, the Baron's remarkable daughter, whose courage and enigmatic reputation draw Arthur into a world where local custom, fierce independence, and whispered legends carry real political weight. As Arthur and his mentor seek safe passage and trustworthy allies, they must navigate hostile soldiers, wary towns, and the long reach of Burgundian ambition, all while guarding their own purpose from prying eyes. Volume 1 lays the groundwork for a sweeping historical romance and adventure about identity, honor, and the price of freedom.
