Sinopsis

A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet might be true. Here, I am looking at a paradox of a person who, during one period of his life, was so different from what he is reported to have become at another certain point. Were there two Richards? A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Did he have a split personality? But then, where was Mr. Hyde during his early life? Herein we examine Richard's life and how, and if, he became what he was accused of by the Tudors after his death.

Biografía del autor

Helle Rink, Danish born, Brazilian bred, and English educated, lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has had a long career with multinationals in Brazil before joining the UN Special Agency World Health Organization in Copenhagen, Denmark, where she stayed until retirement, after which she returned to Brazil. Her chief interest has always been in history, not so much what happened and when but who did what and where. There are many ways to view and interpret history, especially if one goes back to the time where there are few, if any, proofs or documents or if the truth can distorted by those that came after. H. Rink's former books dealt with the Trojan War (Weekend in Troy; Riding the Wooden Horse). In the present book, she looks at the mystery behind the English king Richard III, his life and death.
