Description
Power that violates God's commandments cannot be recognized by Him. Europe, the Middle Ages, the beginning of the 15th century. The knights and nobility of Bohemia and Moravia, who supported reform of the Catholic Church, rose up against the papacy and German domination in Czech lands. Their patience snapped after the burning alive in 1415 of the priest Jan Hus and Jerome of Prague, beloved by the people of Prague and true knights of the Christian faith.
Vera Kryzhanovskaya's gripping book is rich in fascinating details of the era. It is no wonder they said that Kryzhanovskaya wrote all her novels in a trance, under the dictation of souls who had lived in the times of the heroes of her historical novels. Is that why historians noted the astonishing authenticity of the books of an author who had never studied history? Even the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences highly praised the novel “Knights of Faith” (“Lights of Bohemia”), honoring it with a commendatory review. Today Vera Kryzhanovskaya's prose is more relevant than ever, for much in the history of Europe and Russia still awaits a fresh reconsideration…
