Germa the Interpreter

Product details


His father sold him to an Italian feudal lord and received the price, then sold him again to a sultan who took him across the seas and traveled through the countries.

Germanus did not live a peaceful life.

From a slave farmer to a man trembling with terror at what is not terrifying, from a monk to an interpreter, Germa lived the years of his life lost and on the run.

The story of a young Christian man from Aleppo who acquired a number of languages, without knowing where learning them would lead him.
