The Eichhofs: A Romance
Bethusy-Huc, Valeska, Gräfin von
German fiction -- Translations into English
"There is very little in common between this story and 'Barabbas.' In
'The Sorrows of Satan' Miss Corelli wields a much more vigorous pen.
She is full of her purpose. Dear me, how she scathes English society!
She exposes the low life of nigh life with a ruthless pen. The sins of
the fashionable world made even Satan sad; they were more than he could
bear, poor man! The book is lively reading, and will be read in England
with an eager curiosity."--_Chicago Tribune_.
Barabbas.
A Dream of the World's Tragedy.
12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"A book which aroused in some quarters more violent hostility than any
book of recent years. By most secular critics the authoress was accused
of bad taste, bad art, and gross blasphemy; but, in curious contrast,
most religious papers acknowledged the reverence of treatment and the
dignity of conception which characterized the work."--_London
Athenæum_.
Vendetta;
Or, The Story of One Forgotten.
12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"It is a thrilling and irresistibly charming book."--_Baltimore
American_.
"The story is Italian, the time 1884, and the precise stage of the
acts, Naples, during the last visitation of the cholera. A romance, but
a romance of reality. No mind of man can imagine incidents so
wonderful, so amazing as those of actual occurrence. While the story is
exciting, and must be read through when once begun, it furnishes a
vivid and impressive picture of Italian life and morals."---_Washington
National Republican_.
