Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

To Rome And Back Again: Or The Two Proselytes is a novel written by Karl Gottlieb Bretschneider and published in 1856. The story is set in Rome and follows two young men, Julius and Felix, who are studying to become priests. However, their faith is tested when they witness the corruption and hypocrisy of the Church in Rome. As they struggle with their beliefs, they encounter a young woman named Rosa, who is also questioning her faith. The three of them embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration, traveling through Italy and encountering various people and situations that challenge their beliefs and values. Throughout the novel, the author explores themes such as religious faith, morality, and the corrupting influence of power. The story is told in a vivid and engaging style, with rich descriptions of the Italian landscape and culture. Ultimately, the novel is a powerful critique of the Catholic Church and its practices, as well as a meditation on the nature of faith and spirituality. It remains a classic of 19th-century literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
