The Banner Of The Upright Seven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419153532)

""The Banner of the Upright Seven"" is a novel written by Swiss author Gottfried Keller. The story is set in Zurich during the 16th century and revolves around a group of seven young men who form a secret society called ""The Upright Seven."" The society is dedicated to promoting justice and fighting against corruption in the city. The novel follows the lives of the seven members of the society, their struggles, and their eventual downfall. The book is a commentary on the political and social climate of Zurich during the 16th century, and the themes of justice, corruption, and loyalty are explored throughout the novel. The Banner of the Upright Seven is considered one of the most important works of Swiss literature and is often studied in schools and universities.The seventeen-year-old beauty delivered this speech in an apparently cold and matter-of-fact tone, at the same time picking up her oars and heading for the shore. Karl rowed beside her full of anxiety and apprehension, and no less full of vexation at Hermine's words. She was half glad to know that the hot-headed fellow had something to worry about.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
