The story has a contemporary frame that is told by a musician who, during a retreat from a demanding life in Zurich, discovers this hidden history from an elderly teacher. The shadow of the local mountain—die Furgge—today known as the Hohgant, looms over the text as both a hiding place for the persecuted and a symbol of home. \u003cem\u003e(190pp. illus.
