Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boy and the Book Can English boys and girls living now in the nineteenth century, carry their minds back so far in time as to the period when our Henry the Fourth was reigning in England, and can they travel in thought so far distant as to the country called Germany, and picture to themselves the life of a little boy at that time and in that country? If so, we will tell them something of the life of Hans Gensfleisch, the only son of a poor widow, who lived about the beginning of the fifteenth century, not far from Mainz, or Mayence, a city built on the banks of the river Rhine, about half-way between its source and the sea. The father of Hans had been a dyer, and had at one time carried on rather a thriving business in Mainz; but after his death Frau Gensfleisch had gone with her son to live at a little village called Steinheim, about three miles from the city walls, where on a few acres of land, bought with her husband´s savings, and laid out partly as garden and partly as field and vineyard, she contrived to live with this her only child.
