"In wealth of incident, in variety and interest of characterisation, in the richness and humour of its surprises, 'Eyes Like the Sea' ranks with the finest work of the great Hungarian romancer. All is told with delightful and touching candour."—The Spectator.
Halil the Pedlar; The White Rose. (Now ready.)
By Maurus Jókai. Translated by R. Nisbet Bain. With a Photogravure Portrait of Dr. Jókai.
This beautiful and picturesque tale of Oriental life reads like a chapter out of the "Arabian Nights." The heroine is a beautiful young Greek girl who escapes the gilded dishonour of the harem by feigning death and enduring torments. The scene of the story is Stambul, in the eighteenth century, and every phase of life in the great metropolis is described with singular fidelity.
