About Germania

Germanic tribes and Roman legions in the dark forests of the north The resurgence in interest in the historical novel has brought to public attention many new authors offering their readers tales based on virtually every period of history. The exotic era of the Rome of the Caesars and its legendary legions has become especially popular. Of course, although the historical novel spent a long period in the wilderness it was once every bit as popular as it is today and its standard of historical research to achieve authenticity was often to a very high standard. This authenticity combined with a fine writing style created many exciting books for the audiences of the day. Leonaur is pleased to bring one of these authors, Felix Dahn, back to public attention. Dahn was primarily an academic specialising in the Roman Empire as it impacted on what is today modern Germany. He was also expert in the advances of the Gothic tribes towards the end of Roman period. The two books in this volume are based in the north of the Roman empire. Felicitas is centred on Juvavum-the modern day Salzburg-of AD. 476 and is an adventure set in the time of the invasion of the Danubian regions by the hostile Germanic tribes. The second novel, A Captive of the Roman Eagles takes place in A.D. 378 where the Germanic Alemanni come into collision with the force of Roman legions. Lovers of well crafted, intelligent fiction against an accurate background of the ancient Imperial Roman period will find much to satisfy them in this special two in one Leonaur edition. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
