Sinopse
Características

Laughing at the Devil is an invitation to see the world with a medieval visionary now known as Julian of Norwich, believed to be the first woman to have written a book in English. (We do not know her given name, because she became known by the name of a church that became her home.) Julian saw our Lord scorn [the Devils] wickedness and noted that he wants us to do the same. In this impassioned, analytic, and irreverent book, Amy Laura Hall emphasizes Julians call to scorn the Devil. Julian of Norwich envisioned courage during a time of fear. Laughing at the Devil describes how a courageous woman transformed a setting of dread into hope, solidarity, and resistance.
