"JÖRN UHL" is the most powerful story of modern

German life, and was the literary sensation of Europe. Over two hundred thousand copies were sold within eighteen months of issue. The story touches upon many of the social and ethical problems of the day. This novel stands as a book of real worth, a sincere criticism of life, and a poet's interpretation of the life of man and the wonder of the universe of God.

"This is Mr. Frenssen's best-known work, and one that could not have too many readers in this country. The simple and fine story of Jörn's efforts to save the family acres has a measure of philosophy and poetic vision that lift it quite above any other study in recent times."New York Evening Post.

HOLYLAND. Translated by M. A. Hamilton.

THE exclusive authorized translation of "Holyland," pronounced by competent critics to be the greatest novel of modern times. The scenes and characters are drawn from among the humble sea-faring folk who live on the borders of the German Ocean.

"A remarkable novel, judged by whatever standard, one proving that a really great novel knows no one country alone, but must approach the universal in appeal."-New York Globe.

LTHOUGH many years have elapsed Asince the death of Eugene Sue, no fitting

edition of this great author's masterpiece has ever been published; and yet he stands today the third member of the great triumvirate of French authors who not only did much for the literature of France, but did their share toward revolutionizing many old ideas. If choice of the three greatest French novels were made, the selection would undoubtedly consist of "Les Miserables," "The Three Musketeers," and "The Mysteries of Paris."
