Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of the Imitation of Christ: Four Books Reader, You have here a rare treasure. This little edition of the Imitation of Christ is a facsimile of the copy which belonged to Edith Cavell, and which she had with her in the prison of St.-Gilles in Brussels. Two months intervened between her arrest on Augusts 5, 1915, and her court-martial on October 7 and 8. The cruel sentence of death was announced to her on the afternoon of October 11: she was executed at 7 a.m. on October 12, 1915. During the long lonely period of her imprisonment, as well as during the last three days of dreadful expectancy, she used this little book. You can see reproduced in these pages the markings that she made at different times against passages which she found especially helpful and comforting. You will find there are about sixty of these markings. They have been made at different times. The same pen is not used: the character of the markings varies. Sometimes the lines are long and thin; sometimes short and clumsy; sometimes there are two or three lines in the margin of a single short sentence. You will find these marked passages in the following pages: 1, 2, 5, 7, 17, 18, 21, 22, 26, 29, 31, 35, 36, 44, 45, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 71, 72, 76, 82, 83, 86, 87, 88, 96, 100, 103, 104, 105, 108, 110, 118, 120, 121, 122, 124, 125, 126, 135, 136, 137, 153, 186, 191, 192, 199, 200, 201, 205. In a few instances, she has written the date. When the date is given, it is October, 1915. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
