Lorenz List didn't know what awaited him in the great city of N?rnberg. It was an impossibly large city for a boy from the rural hinterlands, where ancient custom, seething discontent, and (at times) a mystical fanaticism held sway. In N?rnberg, he hopes to fulfill a destiny for which he never had dared to dream. He could move from obscurity to fame, perhaps, and from poverty to wealth. In N?rnberg he begins to move among an urbane and cultivated class of people, so far (he thinks) above the peasant culture from which he arose. And he finds unexpected love - a love that could prove the ruin of all his hopes. Set in early 16th century Germany, this is a tale of a young man in a time of impending revolution, felt but as yet unknown. This volume is the first part of a trilogy set against the backdrop of the dramatic events of the Protestant Reformation in Germany.
