Omschrijving

The Saint's Tragedy: Or The True Story Of Elizabeth Of Hungary is a novel written by Charles Kingsley Jr. in 1848. The book is a historical fiction that tells the story of Elizabeth of Hungary, a 13th-century saint who was known for her devotion to the poor and sick. The novel follows Elizabeth's life from her childhood to her marriage to Louis IV of Thuringia, and her eventual death at the age of 24. The Saint's Tragedy explores themes of love, sacrifice, and religious devotion. Elizabeth's unwavering commitment to helping the less fortunate is contrasted with the greed and selfishness of those around her, including her own husband. The novel also touches on the political and social issues of the time, such as the tension between the church and the state, and the role of women in society.Kingsley Jr.'s writing style is descriptive and poetic, capturing the beauty of medieval Europe and the emotions of his characters. The Saint's Tragedy is a moving and inspiring tale of a woman who dedicated her life to serving others and remains a beloved figure in Catholic and Protestant traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
