Uriel Acosta [a Tragedy] From The Germ. By H. Spicer

Viac o knihe

In this tragic novel, Karl Ferdinand Gutzkow retells the much-storied tale of Uriel Acosta, a Dutch Jew and infamous heretic of the 17th century. While the story follows the rise and fall of a brilliant scholar and freethinker, it is also a poignant exploration of faith and the schism between personal belief and institutional religion. Gutzkow's powerful narrative is a haunting reminder of the dangers and consequences of speaking truth to power.
