Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld and Joseph Anton Koch. Tyrol, 1809: an innkeeper leads the mountain peasants against Napoleon and Bavaria, beats a regular army three times at Bergisel, is abandoned by his own Emperor, and is shot at Mantua by French order. Mühlbach was Klara Mundt, who wrote nearly three hundred volumes; Hofer was a real man within living memory when she wrote, and the betrayal by Vienna is not softened. Fifty-one plates by painters including Munch and Friedrich trace the mountain landscape and the restless inner life of the Tyrol, matching Hofer's world of peaks, mist and sleepless nights.
