About The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter by Ambrose Bierce
The Monk and the Hangman’s Daughter is the beautifully powerful translation of an old German tale, "Der Mönch von Berchtesgaden" (The Monk of Berchtesgaden). Upon his arrival at a gothic German monastery, Ambrosius becomes intrigued with Benedicta, a young lonely girl. Unwelcome as the daughter of the hangman, she is alienated by the village. He befriends her despite the objections of the Abbot, his fellow monks, and the townspeople. When Benedicta catches the eye of a young rogue, the tenseness of the situation heightens, tossing Ambrosius and Benedicta into a complex tangle beyond their control. This version is annotated with end notes by and about the authors.
Présentation de l'éditeur
May in the year of our Blessed Lord 1G80, the Franciscan monks i Egidius, Romanus and Ambrosius were sent by tlieir Snperior from the Christian city of Passau to the Monastery of Berchtesgaden, near Salzburg. I, A mbrosius, was the strongest and youngest of the three, being but twenty-one years of age. The Monastery of Berchtesgaden A vas, we kuew, in a wild and mouutainous country, covered with dismal forests, which were infested with bears and evil spirits; and our hearts were filled with sadness to think what might become of us in so dreadful a j)lace. But since it is Christian duty to obey the mandates of the Church, we did not complain, and were even glad to serve the wish of our beloved and revered Superior.
