Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book sets the scene in 19th century Switzerland, where the author describes the origins and rich history of a famous monastery. The hospice of Saint Bernard was founded some 1000 years ago and is renowned for its mountaintop location overlooking the treacherous pass of the Great St. Bernard. Throughout history, the monastery has stood as a place of sanctuary for stranded travelers, and a beacon of hope for those lost in the unforgiving Alpine terrain. The author provides a vivid portrayal of the monks' unwavering commitment to rescuing those in danger, often risking their own lives to assist injured and lost souls. The establishment of hospices in such remote and hazardous locations is a testament to the monks' belief in the sanctity of human life, and their dedication to providing assistance to all who required it. The book not only chronicles the history of this remarkable institution, but offers the reader insights into the lives and motivations of the monks who have dedicated themselves to this challenging and noble cause.
