A CAPTIVE OF THE ROMAN EAGLES
By FELIX DAHN Author of "Felicitas"
Translated from the German by Mary J. Safford. $1.50
The story deals with that early period when Roman power was feeling the inroads of Christianity, and the Pagan Teutons were not yet converted. It has, however, little to do with religion and much with conflict. A beautiful German girl captured by the Romans is the heroine.--The Outlook.
The book is of distinct value, as illuminating for us one of the many dim paragraphs in the record of the mighty struggle that Rome waged for centuries with the wild men of Europe.--Chicago Evening Post.
At the present day he is considered the successor of Ebers in historical fiction.--Minneapolis Times.
A book not only worth translating, but worth translating well, and its English version, by Mary J. Safford, must be well-nigh as satisfactory as the original.--Book News.
It has the solid excellence one finds in the stories of Dahn's compatriot, Ebers.--New York Commercial Advertiser.
A high place in the historical fiction of the year belongs to the translation of Felix Dahn's "Bissula."--The Churchman.
