This romance is fresh, original and dramatic in the simple presentation of the great truths of life and love. There is colour, vivacity and atmosphere in it. The love story is exceptionally interesting.
Tumult
By GABRIELLE VALLINGS
Author of “Bindweed” (4th Edition).
This novel, by the author of “Bindweed,” now in its fourth large edition, is a picture of modern French social life in Paris and on the Riviera, and the love story of a young Countess of Franco-Australian parentage. It deals with social and artistic circles in France, and incidentally with life in the Australian bush. It depicts the struggle between Ancient Vitality—as a revival of the Classic and Primitive—embodied by the god Pan, and the Modern Vitality embodied in the Futurist movement and Ultra-Modernist thought.
In Blue Waters
By H. de VERE STACPOOLE
In “In Blue Waters,” as in “The Blue Horizon,” Mr. Stacpoole shows us not only the beauty and terror of the tropics, but the humour and tragedy of the sea. The humour of the sailor-man in his hands never becomes farcical, and he has discovered the fact that every ship has its own personality and character. Billy Harman, of “The Blue Horizon,” steps again into the pages of “In Blue Waters,” where this quaint and companionable scamp has sea dealings almost as extraordinary as those of Captain Slocum with his “Luck.”
“In Blue Waters,” like “The Blue Lagoon,” is a big sunlit book, a tonic book, full of the freshness of the sea.
