Picked up this translated Dutch version at the thrift store having no idea what it was actually about besides that it was set in the Italian Alps at the end of the middle ages. No regrets!
The book covers the story of a young faithfull Waldension. The religious stuff (which covers an early form of protestantism) is interesting, especially to see how relegion was diverging and reformed back then and how it influenced religion today. The history on Waldensians is very poorly known and this book is a good scene setting of how these people were treated by the Katholic church in the 15th century. The story setting of the middle ages in de mountains and the simple and peacefull lives these people lived (apart from being terrorized by the curch of Rome) was fun to read. The alpine nature and socials settings were amazingly sketched. The story also got quite exciting and tense past the first half with battles and philosophical quandaries. I recommend it!
