Dive into the thrilling, covert world of Father John Gerard, an English Jesuit priest who risked his life to uphold his faith during the Elizabethan era, a time when the Catholic Church faced intense persecution. Successfully evading capture by English authorities for eight years, enduring brutal torture, and making a daring escape from the Tower of London, Gerards resilience is nothing short of extraordinary. After he fled to the Continent, his Jesuit superiors urged him to pen an account of his life, resulting in this book. This gripping account is a later translation, widely known as Autobiography of a Hunted Priest. It provides a rare, first-hand glimpse into the dangerous life of a Catholic priest in Elizabethan England. (Adapted from Wikipedia)Copyright Biographies and Memoirs アート スピリチュアリティ 世界 文学史・文学批評
