THE KNIGHTS OF THE CROSS
An Historical Romance of Poland and Germany. By Henryk Sienkiewicz. Translated from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin. Illustrated. Crown 8vo. $2.00 net.
The greatest work Sienkiewicz has given us.--Buffalo Express.
It seems superior even to "Quo Vadis" in strength and realism.--The Churchman.
The construction of the story is beyond praise. It is difficult to conceive of any one who will not pick the book up with eagerness.--Chicago Evening Post.
There are some scenes in the book that for power and excitement remind one of the great encounter between Ursus and the bull in "Quo Vadis."--Minneapolis Tribune.
Vivid, dramatic, and vigorous.... His imaginative power, his command of language, and the picturesque scenes he sets combine to fascinate the reader.--Philadelphia Bulletin.
A book that holds your almost breathless attention as in a vise from the very beginning, for in it love and strife, the most thrilling of all worldly subjects, are described masterfully.--The Boston Journal.
Another remarkable book. His descriptions are tremendously effective; one can almost hear the sound of the carnage; to the mind's eye the scene of battle is unfolded by a master artist.--The Hartford Courant.
