Excerpt from The Death of the Gods Merejkowski conceives that European civilization has been born of the tremendous conflict between these two main ideas. And he has embodied this conflict in a trilogy of novels, three great historical romances. The first is entitled 7713 Death of {be Gods, and deals with the extraordinary career of the Roman Emperor, Julian the Apostate, who in the fourth century a.d. Sought to revive the worship of the Olympians after Christianity had been adopted by Constantine the Great as the official religion of the Roman Empire. The historical novel, pure and simple, exists no longer. Writers of genius who seem to write bistori cal novels in reality are only transferring to the stage of the world a drama which is being played in their own souls. They transfer thither that drama in order to show that the struggle which is now going on in us is eternal. Merejkowski sees the question which is of supreme interest to us, being asked by the great spirits of a wealthy and imperial civilization closely resembling our own, in the fourth century. And what is of more interest still, he not only sees the momentous problem and places it before us with remarkable lucidity, but he also seems, in his own fashion, to arrive at a solution. Moreover this novelist, this psychologist, is also an artist and a poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
