Bøger af Henry Von Blumenthal

Seven seasonal stories to be read at Christmastide. Based on the character of St. Luke the Evangelist, who told us more about Christmas than any other author, these can be read as bedtime stories for children or by adults as meditations. Each story depicts plausibly how St. Luke would have discovered the material for his Nativity narrative; who supplied him with his information and why he portrayed the events as he did. For those who are interested in the scholarship behind the material, there are interesting explanatory notes. Originally written as Christmas cards for the author's friends, they have also received praise from academics and even from one Archbishop of Canterbury. The author is a practising Catholic who read Theology at Oxford.

Ten members of the small aristocratic von Blumenthal family fought as officers on the field of Gravelotte. Remarkably, all ten survived. Because they fought in every part of the field, it is possible to view the whole battle through family eyes. This book is thus a personal take on the pivotal battle of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
