A CAPTIVE OF THE ROMAN EAGLES
By FELIX DAHN
_Author of_ "_Felicitas_"
Translated from the German by Mary J. Safford. $1.50
The story deals with that early period when Roman power was feeling the
inroads of Christianity, and the Pagan Teutons were not yet converted.
It has, however, little to do with religion and much with conflict. A
beautiful German girl captured by the Romans is the heroine.--_The
Outlook_.
The book is of distinct value, as illuminating for us one of the many
dim paragraphs in the record of the mighty struggle that Rome waged for
centuries with the wild men of Europe.--_Chicago Evening Post_.
At the present day he is considered the successor of Ebers in
historical fiction.--_Minneapolis Times_.
A book not only worth translating, but worth translating well, and its
English version, by Mary J. Safford, must be well-nigh as satisfactory
as the original.--_Book News_.
It has the solid excellence one finds in the stories of Dahn's
compatriot, Ebers.--_New York Commercial Advertiser_.
A high place in the historical fiction of the year belongs to the
translation of Felix Dahn's "Bissula."--_The Churchman_.
Such fiction is of the highest literary value. It redeems
the appellation "historical novel" from execration and
oblivion.--_Louisville Courier-Journal_.
Miss Safford has done her work of translating well. The book is
published in attractive form, and it is a fine tale.--_Boston Times_.
