The War of the Poor

Zusatztext

The Protestant Reformation takes on the powerful and the privileged. Peasants, the poor living in towns, who are still being promised that equality will be granted to them in heaven, begin to ask themselves: and why not equality now, here on earth? Eric Vuillard tells the story of Thomas Muntzer, a complex and controversial figure, whose terrible and novelesque life casts light on the times in which he lived - a moment when Europe was in flux. <b>Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2021</b>
