[ISBN: 978-90-04-46647-0]. - As new.First paperback edition. - At its core, this book explores how people tried to survive the Thirty Years' War, on what resources they drew, and how they attempted to make sense of it. A rich tapestry of stories brings to light contemporaries' trauma as well as women and men's unrelenting initiatives to stem the war's negative consequences. Through these close-ups, Sigrun Haude shows that experiences during the Thirty Years' War were much more diverse and often more perplexing than a straightforward story line of violence and destruction can capture. Life during the Thirty Years' War was not a homogenous vale of gloom and doom, but a multifaceted story that was often heartbreaking, yet, at times, also uplifting. - Text in English. - Publisher's retail price: € 43,60 EUR 25.00 [Appr.: US$ 28.6 | £UK 21.75 | JP¥ 4255] Book number 311432is offered by:
