Opis

Martin of Gfenn is the story of a young artist living in Zurich in the mid-thirteenth century. When he is nineteen, Martin contracts leprosy. He fights physical deterioration and social stigma to do what he believes he was meant to do - paint fresco. His short journey takes him from the streets of a swiftly growing Zurich to a to a small community of the Knights of Saint Lazarus, in the village of Gfenn. The story is inspiring; its philosophical focus is Christ's teachings from the perspective of Martin whose leprosy, youth, passion for painting and education have conspired to make him an early-day Christian humanist."
