Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Switzerland in Sunshine and Snow One, we observe with pleasure, has slipped out and is making off quietly; but another is being conveyed with obvious gusto and deliberation by the ogre into his capacious mouth - the next instant you realise that the tender limbs will be cracked between his opening jaws. The whole thing is very realistically done. Horrible cannibal, who are you - some hated baron of the Oberland? No, the features are Jewish, and the group evidently relates to the legends circulated in the sixteenth century about child sacrifices by the Hebrews. A monument more pleasing to the Chosen People should be the Samson Fountain, which, like all these compositions, is full of vigour. The pleasant-faced giant is wrenching open the jaws of a lion which gapes as with astonishment. Samson seems about to extract a tooth. Then there is the fountain bearing the statue of the gentle dame Seller, the founder of the Insel Hospital, and the fine Renaissance figure of Justice on the Gerechtigkeits brunnen. This dates from 1543. Younger by two years is the Archer Fountain, representing the gaily-uniformed soldier of the period. He is accompanied by a little bear as his esquire. Bears! Berne delights to honour them! They meet your eye at every turn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
