Excerpt from Luther: The LeaderOut of the dungeon in which John Huss was imprisoned before he was burned at the stake in the year 1415 he wrote the words: They may kill a goose [the word Huss meaning in the Bohemian language a goose] but a hundred years from now a swan will arise which they will not be able to kill.Those were prophetic words. Not a hundred years elapsed when the man of destiny was born, whose voice, mighty and penetrating, could not be sti¿ed by fire and smoke, whose words ran like wildfire through Eu rope, and shook the very foun dations of the most stupendous ecclesiastico-political system that the world had ever seen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
