The Exiles of Lucerna (Classic Reprint): Or the Sufferings of the Waldenses During the Persecution of 1686 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Harsh beginnings, steadfast faith, and a long road to survival unfold in this gripping historical account.
In The Exiles of Lucerna, the Waldenses’ centuries‑long struggle for religious freedom comes alive. The book chronicles a brutal chapter from 1686, when persecution renewed under powerful monarchs and the valleys of Lucerna, Perosa, and St. Martino became the stage for a dramatic flight from home and faith. Through vivid scenes of siege, exile, and endurance, the story honors a people who clung to their beliefs amid devastation, captivity, and the harsh beauty of the Alpine landscape.

- The broader political and religious currents that shaped the fate of the Vaudois in Piedmont and Savoy.
- The lasting impact of these events on faith communities and their search for protected worship.

- Concrete, scene‑driven storytelling that grounds historical events in human experience.
- Context on the choices, sacrifices, and endurance of a persecuted people.
- A thoughtful appendix that traces the ongoing aftermath and the enduring struggle for rights and dignity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader into the heart of the persecution of the Vaudois, a Protestant community living in the valleys of the Alps. The author vividly recounts the brutal events of 1686, when the French king Louis XIV, fueled by religious intolerance, pressured the Duke of Savoy to attack the Vaudois, forcing them to flee their homes and face a harrowing journey into exile. Through the story of Rodolph Vinson, a pastor whose family is torn apart by the violence, the book delves into the themes of faith, persecution, and resilience. The author skillfully blends historical accuracy with fictionalized elements, bringing to life the horrors of religious intolerance and the unwavering courage of the Vaudois. The book serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of religious freedom and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
