A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The story of the Captain of the Janizaries originated, not in the authors desire to write a book, but in the fascinating interest of the times and characters he has attempted to depict. It seems strange that the world should have so generally forgotten George Castriot, or Scanderbeg, as the Turks named him, whose career was as romantic as it was significant in the history of the Eastern Mediterranean. Gibbon assigns to him but a few brief pages, just enough to make us wonder that he did not write more of the man who, he confessed, with unequal arms resisted twenty-three years the powers of the Ottoman Empire. Creasy, in his history of the Turks, devotes less than a page to the exploits of one who possessed strength and activity such as rarely fall to the lot of man, humbled the pride of A murath and baffled the skill and power of his successor Mahomet. History, as we make it in events, is an ever -widening river, but, as remembered, it is like a stream bursting eastward from the Lebanons, growing less as it flows until it is drained away in the desert. Though our story is in the form of romance, it is more than founded upon fact.
