Excerpt from Atlantis: A NovelThe German fast mail steamer, Roland, one of the older vessels of the North German Steamship Company, plying between Bremen and New York, left Bremen on the twenty - third of January, 1892.It had been built in English yards with none of those profuse, gorgeous gold decorations in a riotous rococo style which are so unpleasant in the saloons and cabins of ships more recently built in German yards.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Coming of Peace: A Family CatastropheA few words about the author of Friedensfest, which is here translated as The Coming of Peace, will possibly be of interest to readers.

In German speaking countries he is recognised by many as the greatest modern dramatist with the single exception of Henrik Ibsen.He is certainly the only dramatist who, writing under the inspiration of the great Norwegian poet, can by any remotest possibility be considered to have advanced a step beyond his master in dramatic treatment of the inner social forces of mod em life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
