A tale of Italy in the XV century, in which the central figure is Savonarola. The story is full of the overflowing life and color of the period of the Medicis, and by reason of the author’s vivid descriptions reminds one of a piece of tapestry, crowded with figures in picturesque costumes, with the towers and palaces of the fair city lying in the distance.
The Third Estate
A spirited and vivid romance of the French Revolution, in which the hero is the wicked and fascinating Marquis de Sarcey. The story depicts the struggle between the nobility and the Third Estate, and the reader is carried through the stirring scenes of this interesting period, feeling, after he has finished the book, that he has actually lived in them.
