BEN HUR. A Tale of the Christ. By General Lew Wallace
This famous Religious-Historical Romance with its mighty story, brilliant
pageantry, thrilling action and deep religious reverence, hardly
requires an outline. The whole world has placed "Ben Hur" on a
height of pre-eminence which no other novel of its time has reached.
The clashing of rivalry and the deepest human passions, the perfect
reproduction of brilliant Roman life, and the tense, fierce atmosphere of
the arena have kept their deep fascination.
THE PRINCE OE INDIA. By General Lew Wallace
A glowing romance of the Byzantine Empire, showing, with vivid
imagination, the possible forces behind the internal decay of the
Empire that hastened the fall of Constantinople.
The foreground figure is the person known to all as the Wandering Jew, at
this time appearing as the Prince of India, with vast stores of wealth,
and is supposed to have instigated many wars and fomented the Crusades.
Mohammed's love for the Princess Irene is beautifully wrought into the
story, and the book as a whole is a marvelous work both historically and
romantically.
THE FAIR GOD. By General Lew Wallace. A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico.
With Eight Illustrations by Eric Pape.
All the annals of conquest have nothing more brilliantly daring and
dramatic than the drama played in Mexico by Cortes. As a dazzling picture
of Mexico and the Montezumas it leaves nothing to be desired.
The artist has caught with rare enthusiasm the spirit of the Spanish
conquerors of Mexico, its beauty and glory and romance.
TARRY THOU TILL I COME. or, Salathiel, the Wandering Jew. By George Croly.
With twenty illustrations by T. de Thulstrup
A historical novel, dealing with the momentous events that occurred,
chiefly in Palestine, from the time of the Crucifixion to the destruction
of Jerusalem.
The book, as a story, is replete with Oriental charm and richness,
and the character drawing is marvelous. No other novel ever written
has portrayed with such vividness the events that convulsed Rome and
destroyed Jerusalem in the early days of Christianity.
