Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Saint Odile, the Pearl of Alsace The history of the early Saints has always a strange fascination for Catholic readers. There is so much fact in the folk-lore from which their lives have been evolved that it generally bears on its face the stamp of credibility. The legends concerning the deeds and virtues of the saints of the remote past have historical certainty as a basis, and the imagination of the simple-minded people has not detracted from this truth, but rather enveloped it with a poetic charm, which is appreciated by all historical students. The facts, related in this history, but clothed in narrative garb, have been given as traditionally certain by many French and German writers. The legend has varied somewhat, although the events in the main are quite similar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
