Product Description

Product Description

The Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, made the historic pilgrimage to Palestine, found pieces of wood from the true Cross, and built churches at Bethlehem and Olivet. Her life coincided with one of the great turning-points of history: the recognition of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire. The enormous conflicting forces of the age, and the corruption, treachery, and madness of Imperial Rome combine to give Evelyn Waugh the theme for one of his most arresting and memorable novels.

In 1945 he published Brideshead Revisited and he won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1952 for Men at Arms. Evelyn Waugh died in 1966.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, Aug 29 2009
By Sterling Demchinsky "Slavco" (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Helena (Paperback)
Helena is a terrific tale by a terrific writer. Waugh presents a spirit of one of historys most enigmatic and influential women. It is said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Saint Helen was the mother of the Roman Emperor who likely had the biggest impact on the course of European history and yet so little is known about her with certainty. If you keep in mind that this is a novel and not a history textbook, you will gain great enjoyment from Waughs well-crafted story.
