O knihe
In 1755, the famous Portuguese tile maker Pêro Manuel Pires is empathetic to a fault. He is dedicated to freeing slaves with the proceeds of his art and hiring the freed to work in his tile factory, triggering rage and repercussions from a competitor.
Pêro harbors a female artist whose risqué creations keep the shop's works in demand by Lisbon's elite. The success of her designs does not sit well with one of Pêro's longtime workers, bringing him and his loved ones under the menacing eye of the Inquisition, with threat of imprisonment and closure of his shop.
Risking his life and liberty, Pêro is determined to push forward. But on All Saints Day, November 1st, Portugal is struck by earthquakes, tidal waves and massive fires, and Pêro loses what is most dear to him. Will I escape? Or stay to fight for freedom and the future?
A historical novel set in 18th century Lisbon, Cut From The Earth is a riveting story of courage, determination and survival.
This is the large print edition of Cut From The Earth, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.¿
