Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of a Prisoner of State in the Fortress of Spielberg, Vol. 2 of 2 The moment we had entered the gates of Spielberg, the prison where my youth, perhaps my whole life, was to pass in suffering, the Serjeant Pavese looked at us with compassion and exclaimed, "Here then we are arrived!" Accustomed as he was to such gloomy scenes, even his voice faltered at the aspect of the fortress whose name strikes terror throughout the Austrian dominions. "This, to be sure, is not the prettiest place in the world," he resumed after a slight pause; "but you will not remain here for ever. Besides, to men like yourselves, the jailers will afford every indulgence consistent with their duty. It is impossible but that they should become attached to you, as we have on our journey." "I am certain they will," said a young gendarme, brushing a tear from his eyes." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
