Summer of Fire and Blood

あらすじ・解説
The definitive history of the sixteenth-century uprising that revolutionized Europe.
The German Peasants' War was the greatest popular uprising in Western Europe before the French Revolution. In 1524 and 1525, it swept across Germany with astonishing speed as well over a hundred thousand people massed in armed bands to demand a new and more egalitarian order. The peasants took control of vast areas of southern and middle Germany, torching and plundering the monasteries, convents, and castles that stood in their way. But they proved no match for the forces of the lords, who put down the revolt by slaying somewhere between seventy and a hundred thousand peasants in just over two months.
In Summer of Fire and Blood, the first history of the German Peasants' War in a generation, leading historian Lyndal Roper uncovers the far-reaching ramifications of this doomed rebellion. Though the victors portrayed the uprising as naive and chaotic, Roper's deeply researched account reveals instead a coherent mass movement inspired by the radical potential of the Protestant Reformation. Told through the voices and beliefs of the people themselves, this is the thrilling, tragic story of the peasants' fight to change the world.

批評家のレビュー
A riveting account of a seismic event in German history which conveys a real sense of why so many ordinary people thought they could change the world. Lyndal Roper writes beautifully and displays a compassionate understanding for the protagonists on both sides of this complex and bloody struggle (Peter Wilson, author of THE THIRTY YEARS WAR)
Truly extraordinary - Lyndal Roper is a breath-taking storyteller. Her explosive reassessment of the Peasants' War is a theological, ecological, and social epic. She shows why the chaotic violence, symbolic arsenal of brotherhood, and maze of dreams and visions should matter to us in the twenty-first century (Joanna Bourke, author of AN INTIMATE HISTORY OF KILLING)
An extraordinary and brilliant book. In Lyndal Roper's evocatively beautiful, crystal-clear prose, the complex landscapes of early sixteenth-century Germany - physical, psychological, spiritual, social and political - unfold before our eyes. She shows us the dreams and deeds that shaped the Peasants' War, the greatest popular revolt in western Europe before the French Revolution, and the ways in which that war shaped the future that followed. This is a profound account of an attempt to change the world, a sensational narrative that is both human and humane, illuminating, resonant and unsettling (Helen Castor, author of SHE-WOLVES)
I knew very little about the history told here. Extremely well told. It's great for history fans. (David Hockney)
Summer of Fire and Blood brings the drama, violence, and contingency of the German Peasants' War to vivid life, thanks to the unparalleled scholarly and writing skills of historian Lyndal Roper. There is simply no more compelling or insightful account of this tumultuous mass uprising (Joel F. Harrington, author of THE FAITHFUL EXECUTIONER)
Beautifully and sensitively written, Summer of Fire and Blood tells the forgotten trauma of the 16th century - when thousands of ordinary people risked all they had in the hope of ushering in a new world. It takes the stories of our unlettered, peasant ancestors from the sidelines of history and, recentring them, restores their full humanity. And it warns us that the questions they posed are the very urgent questions that confront us again now (Suzannah Lipscomb, author of WHAT IS HISTORY, NOW?)
