The article presents an overview of the book "Martin Luther: A Destiny," by Lucien Febvre. It is an excellent book that deserves, but does not require, a long review, for it may be commended unqualifiedly as one of the best written and most interesting biographies of recent years, and it seems to have lost nothing through the translation. The central thought of the book could not be better stated. M. Febvre portrays in a fascinating style the dramatic struggle between the complex soul of Luther and the social forces of his time; he has also succeeded in giving his subject an excellent historical setting, through his intimate knowledge of the period, without encumbering it with too many details.
