Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Santa Teresa, Vol. 1: Being Some Account of Her Life and Times, Together With Some Pages From the History of the Last Great Reform in the Religious Orders We who, like Fray Luis de Leon, did not know the Mother Teresa on this earth, and can only judge of her by her works, may well wonder what manner of woman was the Castilian nun, whom even Voltaire praised, who exercised such an influence over Ferdinand de Toledo, the stern Duke of Alba, and the gloomy Philip II., and has so stamped herself into Castilian life, that to this day her votaries sign themselves "su amigo Tercsiano" in writing to one another. Of all the books written of her, we may say, as devout Spaniards do at a saint´s birthplace, " este lugar huele a santo." This cannot be said of the following pages. The attempt of the author has been to paint Teresa de Ahumada the woman - as well as Teresa de Jesus the saint - to show why it was that she, from nothing, and with nothing but her own energy, was able to rescue the whole Order of Carmelites from the condition of apathy into which it had fallen. How it was that she attached every one she met to her, from the rough arrieros with whom she wandered over the Castilian uplands to the courtly Gracian, and Don Teutonio de Braganza.
