THEDEATH OF THE GODSBy DMITRI MÉREJKOWSKIAuthor of "The Romance of Leonardo da Vinci," etc.Authorized English version byHerbert Trench. 12o. $1.50."A fine piece of work. Out of the perplexed chapters of Julian's career, Mérejkowski has constructed something which might be called a drama, full of episodes, lurid, intense, passionate ... with a power to enlist and hold the attention of the reader. The Russian writer is evidently a close and unwearied student."—London Daily Telegraph."Should meet with a good hearing in England and America.... The subject—the career of Julian the Apostate—is certainly most fascinating."—The Athenæum."Here, in the enthusiasm of reading, we are ready to admit another to the select circle of great historical novels, and they are few.... Julian, as the intellectual and active meeting point of the old world and the new, is the most remarkable figure of his epoch."—Daily Chronicle."With the ardor as of Flaubert in 'Salammbo,' and with perhaps more skill than Sienkiewicz in 'Quo Vadis,' he has succeeded in recreating the wonderful rich scenes and characters of the period."—The Observer.G.P.

The Romance ofLeonardo da VinciThe Forerunner(The Resurrectionof the Gods)ByDMITRI MÉREJKOWSKIAuthor of "The Death of the Gods," "Tolstoi as Man and Artist," etc.12o.$1.50."A novel of very remarkable interest and power. Most vivid and picturesque."—Guardian."A finer study of the artistic temperament at its best could scarcely be found. And Leonardo is the centre of a crowd of striking figures. It is impossible to speak too highly of the dramatic power with which they are presented, both singly and in combination. A very powerful piece of work, standing higher above the level of contemporary fiction than it would be easy to say."—Spectator."A remarkable work."—Morning Post."Takes the reader by assault. One feels the impulsion of a vivid personality at the back of it all."—Academy."It amazes, while it wholly charms, by the power of imagery, the glowing fancy, the earnestness and enthusiasm with which the writer conjures Italy of the Renaissance from the past into the living light."—London World.G.P.
