Few great men have been so consistently misunderstood as Calvin and
the eminent Swiss man of letters, Emanuel Stickelberger, throws a
vivid light upon both the man and his times. Stickelberger sees the
pale, frail man of Geneva against the background of the tumultuous
times in which he lived. His iron will, constant struggle with ill
health, utter dedication to his task, almost super-human capacity
for work and indifference to financial reward, are all arrestingly
portrayed. Stickelberger paints his portrait with a remarkable
economy of words and with a fine sense of drama. The result is a
vivid and fascinating study of a man and an epoch, that holds the
reader's attention from the first page to the last.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer
Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags
von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv
Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche
Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext
betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor
1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen
Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
