J. N. Worsfold’s The Vaudois of Piedmont recounts a visit to the alpine valleys of the Waldensians, the ancient Protestant community of northern Italy. The book combines travel narrative with the dramatic history of a people who maintained their dissenting faith through centuries of persecution.
Worsfold describes the scenery, the villages, and the customs of the Vaudois, while recalling the massacres, exiles, and steadfast endurance that mark their story. It is both an evocative travelogue and a tribute to one of Europe’s oldest evangelical churches. This free EPUB edition is ready to read on any e-reader, tablet, or phone.
