by Pierre Loti
Publisher: J. B. Lippincott Company 1917
Number of pages: 320

Carrying with them a few articles of clothing, caught up at haphazard, they had climbed up into the coaches without so much as asking themselves what was their destination.

The Sorceress of Rome
by Nathan Gallizier - L.C. Page & Company
The darkness of the tenth century is dissipated by no contemporary historian. Monkish chronicles alone shed a faint light over the chaos of the Italian world. The seat of empire had shifted from the banks of the Tiber to the shores of the Bosporus.
