Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The God Seeker: A Tale of Old Styria The principal events of The God Seeker are founded on historical facts. In the year 1493, in a remote part of the Styrian Alps, the little village of Tragos was excommunicated from the Church and outlawed for a crime committed by one member of the parish. It seems almost incredible that an entire community could be made to suffer for the crime of one person. In an age, however, when the Catholic Church wielded such tremendous power, and when superstition frequently took the place of justice, - as was the case when the "Vehrnic Law" and "The Judgment of God" were resorted to, - it is not surprising. A few years ago Herr Rosegger, accompanied by his two young sons, made a pilgrimage to the valley of the God Seeker, where the village of Tragos still stands, with its old church, now restored and reestablished as a place of worship. Here relics of the crime committed four hundred years ago are preserved. To-day the village has become a centre for Alpine tourists, and there are few traces left of the unhappy period through which the inhabitants passed when, their God having been taken from them, they were ruled by their own misguided natures.
