| Abstract
|
:
|
"The result, in 1986, of combining and editing several manuscripts written by Maureen Burn in Paraguay during 1954-1958. Part 1 is based largely on Maureen's account of her visit to Sapucay. She called it 'The Furnace.' A shorter version of this was published by the Wheathill Bruderhof in England in 1957 (Plough magazine, Volume 5, No. 1) under the title 'Visit to a leper colony.' Parts 2 and 3 are a combination of Maureen's unpublished manuscripts 'If I make my bed in hell ... ' and 'Parables from the underworld, ' with a few additiontal anecdotes recorded by 'Don̋a Maria, ' as she talked naturally in her simple Spanish to sisters of the Sociedad de Hermanos (Society of Brothers), when they visited her in her little hut near Primavera Hosptial."--Foreword.
