A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Two classic romances dealing with the struggle between ancient Rome and Carthage, in the tradition of “Quo Vadis” and “Ben Hur”, by a promising young author whose life was cut short in 1930, when he was only 37.Sample reviews for “The Figure in the Sand” from 1924:“’Quo Vadis’ has a rival” – San Francisco Bulletin “Mystery, romance and religion woven into one garment with infinite charm...” - Duluth Herald“It is an excellent echo of the type of book of which ‘Quo Vadis’ is still the shining example.” – The New York Times“Picturesque romance – a combination of ‘Quo Vadis,’ ‘Ben Hur’ asnd ‘Vergilius.’ The style is poetic and romantic.” - Colorado Gazette“This book is not only charming, it is exquisite – full of life and color.” – Commercial, Buffalo, NY“Ah! Once in a blue moon a reviewer makes a rich find... The atmosphere is classic, the plot rarely original, the climax powerfully dramatic.” – New Bedford, Mass. Standard“Although it is the work of a young author, has much of the power of the masterpieces.” – Sacramento Bee“The story is a thrilling one. It is intensely dramatic, and the classical as well as the romantic atmosphere give it a special interest. The author has contributed a very real and vital bit to literature.” – Portland, Maine Evening Express“It has romance, tragedy, atmosphere and some effective descriptive writing to recommend it.” – Des Moines Capital
