Acerca de este título
Geneva, 1553. John Calvin rules the city as absolute theocrat. When the scholar Michael Servetus arrives, fleeing the Catholic Inquisition, Calvin has him arrested, tried for heresy, and burned alive—slowly, over green wood, taking half an hour to die.
One man speaks against this atrocity: Sebastian Castellio, a scholar and former ally of Calvin's who'd been driven from Geneva for questioning the reformer's authority. From exile in Basel, Castellio publishes Concerning Heretics, Whether They Are to Be Persecuted—the first systematic defense of religious tolerance in European history, arguing that burning people for their beliefs contradicts everything Christianity claims to stand for.
Stefan Zweig published Castellio Against Calvin in 1936 as Hitler consolidated power. The parallels were unmissable and deliberate: Calvin represented totalitarian tyranny claiming divine or historical justification; Castellio represented individual conscience refusing to submit.
Zweig rescues Castellio from obscurity, showing how this forgotten scholar articulated principles of tolerance that took centuries to achieve partial realization. Written as fascism triumphed, the book asks: what does individual conscience matter against organized power? Zweig's answer: everything. Even when conscience loses in its own time, it plants seeds for future freedom.
The subtitle—A Conscience Against Violence—captures Zweig's conviction that moral resistance matters regardless of immediate outcome. For readers confronting contemporary authoritarianism, religious extremism, or ideological intolerance, Castellio's sixteenth-century stand remains urgently relevant: the defense of human dignity against those who claim absolute truth justifies absolute power.
