During the hot dry summers fire would frequently happen. Actually the Haydn house itself was on fire three times. One in 1813, 1833, and 1899 but was always carefully restored to its original form. Haydn is one of three boys, Michael (who is also a well known composer himself), and Johann Evangelist (a tenor in the church choir of the Esterhazy Court).

I used the bible passage from the bible (Job 17:9) to relate to Winton’s occasional references to religion. In the short story ‘Holding’, the protagonist is sceptical of religion but understands that it helps other people in their lives, and in ‘More’, Jerra discovers that his dad became religious to help himself through any tough times. My character is quite annoyed by religion but he still draws strength from the passage I stated earlier despite his scepticism. Will experiences difficulties similar to that of Winton’s characters. His life is controlled by traumatic events from his past.

The church served as a library filled to the brim with ancient texts and scrolls, and was the only form of education.
