About this product

Product Information

Step into the world of Meister Frantz Schmidt- executioner, torturer and dispenser of justice. Meet Frantz Schmidt- executioner, torturer and, most unusually for his times, diarist. Following in his father's footsteps, Frantz entered the executioner's trade as an Apprentice. 394 executions and forty-five years later, he retired to focus his attentions on running the large medical practice that he had always viewed as his true vocation. Through examination of Frantz's exceptional and often overlooked record, Joel F. Harrington delves deep into a world of human cruelty, tragedy and injustice. At the same time, he poses a fascinating question- could a man who routinely practiced such cruelty also be insightful, compassionate - even progressive? The Faithful Executioner is the biography of an ordinary man struggling to overcome an unjust family curse; it is also a remarkable panorama of a Europe poised on the cusp of modernity, a world with startling parallels to our own.

A horrifying subject but fascinating too.
An incredible book. It is hard to read at times as the punishments are explicit, but the book portrays 16th century Nuremburg wonderfully. Harrington has done a great job in bringing the words of the faithful executioner to life.
