À propos de cette écoute

Jesuit priest John Gerard (1564-1637) hid from English authorities for eight years before his eventual capture and torture in the Tower of London. Risking everything to preserve Catholicism in Tudor England, Gerard moved from house to house, converting many people and evading capture by mere seconds. Following a hair's-breadth escape from the Tower to the continent, he survived to tell his tale and pass on his experience to future missionaries and martyrs in The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest, a fascinating tale of espionage, disguise, priest hunters, invisible ink and brilliantly designed hideouts.

A heroic story of grit and determination, Gerard's autobiography unequivocally captures humanity's courage and resolve in the face of oppression.

    The very interesting story of one of the many jesuit priests who were hunted and persecuted in XVIth century England. The thrilling "adventures", the sufferings (his and his friends), the many conversions he obtained, are all described very thoroughly. The style is religious, yet agreeable. A lot of his friends were martyrised for their faith, he himself was tortured, after which je managed to escape from the Tower of London, and would certainly have been killed had he not managed to flee England after the Gunpowder plot ( in which he had no part, but of which many of his friends and converts were responsible). A first hand source for many historians, this book provides also some information on the way of life of the gentry in those times.
