Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of 1534 Münster, a radical sect known as the Melchiorites seizes control, believing themselves to be God's chosen people destined for Paradise. They establish a theocratic regime, expelling other religious groups and enforcing polygamy due to a gender imbalance. Led by John of Leiden, their fervent faith faces brutal backlash from Catholic and Lutheran powers, leading to an 18-month siege. This gripping narrative explores themes of religious zealotry, persecution, and the tragic consequences of fanaticism, resonating with contemporary issues of faith and conflict.
