Présentation de l'éditeur
Two years had gone by since the foreigner had set foot in Flanders, and cried: Bow your heads, 3e Flemings! ye sons of the north, yield to the children of the south, or die! Little thought they that there had been born in Bruges a man endowed with large sagacity, and inspired with heroic courage; a man who shone forth as a bright light among his contemporaries; and to whom, as to His servant Moses, God had said: Go, and deliver thy brethren, the children of I srael, from the thraldom of Pharaoh.
