Science - History | | English term or phrase: learned to move in new ways | Geschichtsbuch/ Biografie über den Schweizer Freiheitskämpfer Georg Jenatsch ( 17. Jahrhundert ); Kontext: "However, even as Jenatsch's religiously motivated activism seemed to reach a high point—he was now twenty-three—it was also about to end. His actions during the years after 1619 launched him on a new career as soldier, partisan and ultimately, political force to be reckoned with.
From pastor to convert, 1620-1635
From 1619 to the 1630s, Jenatsch's engagement with politics and religion changed profoundly. During this period, he also learned to move in new ways through the violent world of Europe during the Thirty Years' War. Four moments capture his progression from activist Reformed pastor to conciliatory Catholic colonel." Meine Idee ( Lernte neue Wege zu beschreiten ..um in...voranzukommen ) klingt nicht gerade elegant. |
