Project Gutenberg 2004-11-27 Public domain in the USA. 114 Vuillier, Gaston 1846 1915 Malta en de Maltezer Orde De Aarde en haar Volken, 1906 Jeroen Hellingman and the PG Distributed Proofreaders Team "Malta en de Maltezer Orde" by Gaston Vuillier is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book explores the rich history of Malta and the Order of St. John, detailing key events, figures, and the cultural atmosphere of the island during significant periods, particularly the establishment of Valletta by Grand Master Jean de la Valette after a fierce battle against the Ottomans. The beginning of the work introduces the author's initial journey from Tunisia to Malta, where unexpected circumstances lead him to reflect on the past glories of places like Syracuse. As he approaches Valletta, the author vividly describes the city's impressive fortifications and its historical significance. Through eloquent descriptions, we learn not only about the city’s architecture and its bustling streets filled with diverse people but also about the cultural nuances of the Maltese, their foreign influences, and the legacy of the Knights Hospitaller in Malta's storied history. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the island’s transformation and its enduring heritage. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 65.3 (8th & 9th grade).
