Beschreibung zu „Perpetua - A Story of Nimes in A.D. 213“

Sabine Baring-Gould's 'Perpetua - A Story of Nimes in A.D. 213' is a historical novel set in ancient Rome, specifically in the city of Nimes in the year 213 A.D. The novel explores the life of the martyr Saint Perpetua and her Christian beliefs amidst the oppressive Roman rule. Baring-Gould's literary style intertwines historical accuracy with vivid storytelling, creating a compelling narrative that immerses the reader in the tumultuous time period. The book offers a unique perspective on the early Christian church and the struggles faced by its followers. As a clergyman and scholar, Baring-Gould's portrayal of Perpetua is not only well-researched but also emotionally resonant, making her story both educational and engaging for readers. The historical context of the novel adds depth to the characters and events, providing a rich tapestry of life in ancient Rome. I highly recommend 'Perpetua - A Story of Nimes in A.D. 213' to readers interested in historical fiction, religious history, and compelling storytelling.

Über Sabine Baring-Gould

Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924), a scholar, Reverend, and author, produced more than 1,240 publications during his lifetime! He is perhaps best known as a hymn writer (he wrote the hymns “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and “Now the Day is Over,” among many others), but he definitely considered his crowning achievement to be his collections of folk songs from the townspeople of Cornwall and Devon. His studies of folklore and folk music actually lead to the creation of The Book of Were-Wolves (1865), the book where “The Werewolf of the North” was originally published. The Book of Were-Wolves remains an important study of lycanthropy even today.
