Some foxing / marking to page edges. The Last Miracle is the third part of the "Miracle Trilogy" by the German author Karl Gustav Vollmoeller. Edit The first part of the novel deals with the origins and youth of the nun Megildis, the replacement for the figure of the knight Adrian and as an accompanying motif for the dark youth of Marcel, the minstrel figure from the first miracle, who ultimately becomes the evil spirit of the connection and who separates lovers through evil machinations. Marcel is the minstrel from the pantomime, in a transformed, novel-like form that comes closer to reality. The second part is about the escape from the monastery and the lovers' hiding in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution . In drastic terms, Vollmoeller expresses his disgust for war and uncontrollable, politically excited crowds. Paris becomes the turning point in the relationship. Marcel, the minstrel, breaks up the lovers through clever scheming. He sells the former nun with the golden voice as an opera singer to the opera houses of Europe and as a lover to a cruel Russian count. Adrian joins the Catholic Church as a clergyman, quickly makes his career and rises to the rank of cardinal in Rome . In the third part, the opera singer, who ultimately lives in complete dependence on Marcel, the minstrel, returns to the monastery. After Megildis was expecting a child from Marcel, he sold her as a whore to the imperial army. Accepted back into the monastery by the Virgin Mary despite her sins and transgressions, the opera singer and whore becomes a pious, miracle-working nun again. The Virgin Mary takes her dead baby, brings it back to life and holds it in her arms - like Jesus. Shortly afterwards the nun dies and the monastery tries to have her canonized.
