{"product_id":"the-amber-witch-william-mienhold-9781161456325","title":"The Amber Witch","description":"The Amber Witch is a novel written by William Meinhold, first published in 1839. The story is set in the 17th century in the town of Stralsund, Germany, and is based on a true story of witchcraft and persecution. The protagonist, Maria Schweidler, is accused of being a witch and is put on trial. The book follows her journey as she tries to prove her innocence and clear her name. Along the way, she faces various challenges, including the manipulations of her accusers and the prejudices of the people around her. The Amber Witch is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the fight for justice in a world that is often cruel and unjust. It is a classic work of Gothic literature, known for its vivid descriptions of the supernatural and its exploration of human nature under extreme circumstances. The book has been translated into many languages and is still widely read today.When she now held her peace amid loud sobs, Dom. Consul started up after he had looked, as we all did, at the sheriff's nose, and had in truth espied the scar upon it, and cried out in amaze, \"\"Speak, for God His sake, speak, what is this that I hear of your lordship?\"\" Whereupon the sheriff, without changing colour, answered, that although, indeed, he was not called upon to say anything to their worships, seeing that he was the head of the court, and that Rea, as appeared from numberless indicia, was a wicked witch, and therefore could not bear witness against him or any one else; he, nevertheless, would speak, so as to give no cause of scandal to the court; that all the charges brought against him by this person were foul lies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
