Niccolo Rising

The time is the 15th century, when intrepid merchants became the new knighthood of Europe. Among them, none is bolder or more cunning than Nicholas vander Poele of Bruges, the good-natured dyers apprentice who schemes and swashbucukes his way to the helm of a merchantile empire.

Este vorba despre secolul al XV-lea, cand negustorii neinfricati au devenit noua cavalerie a Europei. Printre ei, nimeni nu este mai indraznet sau mai viclean decat Nicholas vander Poele din Bruges, ucenicul vopsitor bun la suflet care isi croieste drum spre carma unui imperiu comercial.
