Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an immersive journey into the tenth century German countryside through the eyes of Ekkehard, a young monk in the monastery of St. Gallus, and Hadwig, an assertive, widowed duchess. The author brings this bygone era to life with vivid imagery and strong characterisation. At a time of social and political division, Ekkehard struggles to reconcile the spiritual teachings of his order with the earthy nature of the world around him. His faith is tested when he is reluctantly drawn into teaching the classics to the vibrant, independent Duchess Hadwig, a woman of great intellect and determination, unconstrained by the customs of the time. The story explores themes of faith, the role of women in society, and the conflict between tradition and change. As the characters clash and learn from each other, the author provides thoughtful insights into human nature and the universal themes that connect our world to the distant past.
