{"product_id":"9781911110620","title":"Katharina Luther: Nun, Rebel, Wife","description":"On 31st October 1517, Martin Luther pinned ninety-five theses on the Castle Church door, Wittenberg, criticizing the Church of Rome; they were printed and published by Lucas Cranach and caused a storm. Nine young nuns, intoxicated by Luther's subversive writings, became restless and longed to leave their convent. On Good Friday 1523 a haulier smuggled them out hidden in empty herring barrels. Five of them settled in Wittenberg, the very eye of the storm, and one of them - Katharina von Bora - scandalised the world by marrying the revolutionary former monk. Following a near miscarriage, she is confined to her bed to await the birth of their first child; during this time, she sets down her own story. Against a backdrop of 16th Century Europe this vivid account of Katharina von Bora's early life brings to the spotlight this spirited and courageous woman.","brand":"Clink Street Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172880728304,"sku":"9781911110620","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781911110620_p0.jpg?v=1763630488","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781911110620","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
