Historical Figures

There are many historical figures in this book such as Roland who swung the sword Durendal against the Saracens. I believe that this novel, even though a fictional adventure book still is very informing and educative. These historical figures were heroes in there time. They varied from freeing their countries to ridding their countries of pirates. While reading about these figures it makes you wonder what my purpose in life is. I search for what to do, but find nothing of much importance. Maybe reading further on will help me find my destination in life.
