This second important work from the pen of the successful author of
"Gösta Berling," which has created such a strong impression, will be
widely read. "The author," says a reviewer in "Cosmopolis," "has
chosen the Etna region of Sicily as the theatre of her story, and the
result is a masterpiece of the highest order,--a _chef-d'oeuvre_ which
places the young author in the front rank of the literary artists of
her day. The merits of 'Antekrists Mirakler' are so superlative that a
lesser eulogy would be inadequate.... It is worth while to learn
Swedish to read this astonishing book. All who hunger after true
poetry may here eat, drink, and be satisfied."
