Thracian Sea
A Novel by JOHN HELSTON, Author of "Aphrodite," etc.
_With frontispiece in colors. Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Probably no author to-day has written more powerfully or frankly on the
conventions of modern society than John Helston, who, however, has
hitherto confined himself to the medium of verse. In this novel, the
theme of which occasionally touches upon the same problems--problems
involving love, freedom of expression, the right to live one's life in
one's own way--he is revealed to be no less a master of the prose form
than of the poetical. While the book is one for mature minds, the skill
with which delicate situations are handled and the reserve everywhere
exhibited remove it from possible criticism even by the most exacting.
The title, it should be explained, refers to a spirited race horse with
the fortunes of which the lives of two of the leading characters are
bound up.
Faces in the Dawn
A Story by HERMANN HAGEDORN
_With frontispiece in colors. Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
A great many people already know Mr. Hagedorn through his verse. _Faces
in the Dawn_ will, however, be their introduction to him as a novelist.
The same qualities that have served to raise his poetry above the common
level help to distinguish this story of a German village. The theme of
the book is the transformation that was wrought in the lives of an
irritable, domineering German pastor and his wife through the influence
of a young German girl and her American lover. Sentiment, humor and a
human feeling, all present in just the right measure, warm the heart and
contribute to the enjoyment which the reader derives in following the
experiences of the well drawn characters.
