About This Book

Kertomus kuvaa pienten vuorikuntien vastarintaa keisarillista sortoa ja ylimysten röyhkeyttä vastaan: keisari Albrehtin edustajat käyttävät pakkotoimia ja loukkaavaa kohtelua, minkä seurauksena Uri, Sveitsi ja Unterwalden solmivat vala­liiton suojellakseen toisiaan. Teksti seuraa paikallisten miesten ja perheiden kokemuksia, kuten Werner Stauffacherin ja Walter Fürstin ratkaisuja, ja kuvaa miten julmat määräykset ja voutien provokaatiot synnyttävät yhtenäisyyttä, kärsimystä sekä lopulta kapinan ja pyrkimyksen vapautukseen.
