The Prince of India (Volume 1)
by Lew Wallace
Volume one from Wallace's Prince of India; He talks about the events that led to the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453. The legendary wandering Jew, disguised as the Prince of India, helps the city and its empire collapse by helping and advising the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II. The glowing novel of the Byzantine Empire represents the siege of Constantinople with extraordinary force and ignites the tragedy of the Eastern novel with its warm light.
