John of Gerisau is a historical novel written by John Oxenham and published in 1902. The story is set in the 14th century and follows the life of John, a young man from the Swiss village of Gerisau. John is a skilled archer and dreams of becoming a knight, but his lowly social status makes this seem impossible. However, when the village is threatened by an invading army, John's bravery and skill in battle catch the attention of the local lord, who takes him under his wing and trains him as a knight. As John rises through the ranks of the nobility, he struggles to reconcile his newfound power and privilege with his humble roots. He also faces challenges from jealous rivals and must navigate the complex political landscape of medieval Europe. Along the way, John falls in love with a noblewoman named Agnes, but their relationship is complicated by their differing social statuses and the disapproval of Agnes's family. The novel is richly detailed and immerses the reader in the sights, sounds, and customs of medieval Switzerland. It explores themes of social class, identity, love, and loyalty, and offers a vivid portrayal of a bygone era. Overall, John of Gerisau is a stirring tale of adventure, romance, and self-discovery that will appeal to fans of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
