Hugo Gurgeny: Prisoner Of The Lisbon Inquisition is a historical fiction novel written by Mary Brearley. The book is set in Portugal during the 16th century, where the Inquisition was at its peak. The story follows the life of Hugo Gurgeny, a young man who is accused of heresy and imprisoned by the Inquisition. Hugo is a French Huguenot who has fled to Portugal to escape religious persecution. However, his new life is short-lived as he is soon arrested and thrown into prison. The novel explores Hugo's struggles as he endures torture and interrogation by the Inquisitors. Throughout the book, the reader is given a glimpse into the harsh realities of life under the Inquisition. The author describes the brutal methods used by the Inquisitors to extract confessions from their prisoners. The story also sheds light on the religious tensions that existed during that time, as well as the political power struggles that shaped the Inquisition. Despite the bleak setting, the novel also contains moments of hope and resilience. Hugo's determination to survive and his unwavering faith in God are a testament to the human spirit. The book is a gripping tale of survival, faith, and the fight for freedom in a time of oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
