Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Spanish Brothers: A Tale Of The Sixteenth Century is a historical novel written by Deborah Alcock and first published in 1871. The story is set in Spain during the 16th century and follows the lives of two brothers, Carlos and Julian, who are torn apart by religious differences. Carlos is a devout Protestant while Julian is a staunch Catholic, and their conflicting beliefs put them at odds with each other and the society they live in.As the brothers navigate their way through the turbulent political and religious landscape of Spain, they find themselves embroiled in a series of dangerous and dramatic events. Carlos is accused of heresy and is forced to flee the country, while Julian rises through the ranks of the Catholic Church and becomes a powerful figure in the Inquisition.The novel is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and religious persecution, and it offers a vivid portrayal of the social and political upheaval of 16th century Spain. Through the lives of Carlos and Julian, Alcock explores the themes of faith, family, and loyalty, and she presents a powerful commentary on the impact of religious conflict on individuals and society as a whole.Overall, The Spanish Brothers: A Tale Of The Sixteenth Century is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its rich historical detail, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
