The Story of Gösta Berling

Name: The Story of Gösta Berling
Author: Lagerlöf, Selma

Lagerlöf, Selma

Swedish fiction -- Translations into English

A story of Venice in the time of Titian and Tintoretto, who figure
prominently in the work. The mosaic work executed in the restoration of
the basilica of St. Mark is fully described, and George Sand has followed
very closely the facts as given by Vasari regarding the brothers Zuccati
and Bartolomeo Bozza. The story is one of exquisite beauty and great
power.

    “The Master Mosaic Workers” is _one of the most delightful of
    historical novels_, and gives a vivid picture of the life in
    Venice at the time when Titian, Tintoretto, and Giorgione were in
    their zenith, and when the famous mosaics which still adorn St.
    Mark’s were being made.—_Literary World._
