Synopsis

A novel dealing with the establishment of a Socialistic Colony upon a deserted island off the coast of California (set in 1898-1901). The way of disillusionment is the course over which Mr. Dixon conducts the reader. The characters include Herman Wolf, a socialist leader, Norman Worth, an amateur socialist and Barbara Bozenta, a new Joan of Arc. Thomas Dixon earlier published The Clansman from which D.W. Griffith produced his film Birth of a Nation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Fools and fanatics!" Colonel Worth crumpled the morning paper with a gesture of rage and walked to the window. Elena followed softly and laid her hand on his arm. "What is it, Guardie? I thought you were supremely happy this morning over the news that Dewey has smashed the Spanish fleet?" "And so I am, little girl," was the gentle reply, "or was until my eye fell on this call of the Socialists for a meeting to-night to denounce the war—denounce the men who are dying for the flag. Read their summons." He opened the crumpled sheet and pointed to its head lines: "Down with the Stars and Stripes—up with the Red Flag of Revolution—the symbol of universal human brotherhood! Come and bring your friends. A big surprise for all!" The Colonel's jaws snapped suddenly. "I'd like to give them the surprise they need to-night." "What?" Elena asked. "A serenade." "A serenade?"
