Viac o knihe
Set in 1651 Springfield, Massachusetts, the narrative unfolds amidst a series of inexplicable calamities that ignite a witch-hunt frenzy. As food spoils and livestock suffers, the community spirals into paranoia, targeting a young couple, Hugh and Mary Parsons, amidst growing tensions and tragic deaths. Drawing on rich historical sources, the author explores themes of superstition versus enlightenment, revealing a society grappling with deep-seated fears and the complexities of human nature in a time of turmoil.
