The narrative is filled with dreams, prophecies, violent power struggles, and fragile peace agreements. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction, chronology, index of characters, plot summary, explanatory notes, maps, and suggestions for further reading, providing a comprehensive understanding of this timeless story.
