Publisher's Synopsis
The Memoirs Of A Protestant V1: Condemned To The Galleys Of France For His Religion is a book written by Jean Marteilhe in 1895. It is an autobiographical account of his experiences as a Protestant in France during the 18th century. Marteilhe was arrested for his religious beliefs and sentenced to serve as a galley slave, a punishment that was reserved for the most serious crimes at the time. The book details his journey from his arrest to his eventual release, including the harsh conditions he endured while serving as a galley slave. Marteilhe's memoirs provide a unique insight into the religious persecution that took place in France during this period, and offer a firsthand account of the brutal treatment that was inflicted upon those who dared to defy the Catholic Church. The book has been widely praised for its historical significance and its vivid depiction of life in 18th-century France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
