He robbed the merchants of those cities, fought in a war against the Swiss, was swept into leading a peasant revolt, and had many interesting adventures.This work is not an easy read, despite our efforts to bring it into an up-to-date literary style. It was written in the German equivalent of Chaucer, with very long paragraphs and run-on sentences are such that your teacher would have groaned. We have kept much of the flavor of Gotz's writing style, but have gone to major efforts to make the language far more understandable and readable. The work is heavily footnoted to allow the reader to understand some of the phrasing and terminology. It is also preceded by an explanation of the time and the nature of life at that time. This is the first English translation of this work, so it is very unique.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
