The Wife of Pilate and Other Stories by Gertrud von le Fort

Description

"The Wife of Pilate imagines the slow, arduous transformation of an aristocratic woman, who is mentioned in the New Testament, from a pagan into a Christian saint, as she is now honored in the Byzantine Church. Plus Ultra takes us into the high politics of early sixteenth-century Europe, and into the soul of a lonely young lady at court who knows she has attracted the intoxicating but dangerous attention of the Emperor Charles V himself. At the Gate of Heaven takes the clash between show more astronomical discoveries and the Roman Inquisition trial of Galileo as the backdrop for harrowing reflections about man's place in the cosmos."--Page 4 of cover. show less

Good condition. Cover is in very good condition - it has been protected by mylar covering which is still partially intact and adhered to front cover. Former owner's name in ink inside front cover. End papers show some minor staining from age. Pages are clean and binding is good.
