4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple but beautiful tragedy,
By Book lover (Mpls, MN, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter (Kindle Edition)
This is a german classic representing romance tragedies, though not as in depth nor as complex as the likes of Romeo and Juliet. I do not want to give anything away so briefly... The story revolves around a monk who loves God but cannot separate his natural feelings for a hangmans daughter, who is an outcast because of her fathers occupation. A look into religion at its best and at its worst. A great view of peoples bias without basis. A tale of the destruction of love from innocence. It is a beautifully written story encompassing compassion, jealousy, fanaticism and cruelty. Recommended for readers who enjoy the beauty of classic tragedy. Easy Read
