AN EVENING With The TURKISH PASHA Carlyle called him ‘‘The Unspeakable Turk.’? Dumas pictures him as a compound of avarice, greed ai treachery, of licentiousness and cruelty, in whose heart is the seed of all the basest passions, and whose ie is devoted to their development and gratification; whose days are orgies of blood and whose nights are saturnalias of debauchery—a race built solely for conquest that fell back upon tyranny when deserted by the genius of victo: —a country torn by anarchy and lashed by the hand of insatiable masters:—from such a race and country sprang Repeien Pasha of Janina, who sums up in his personality the ideas and morals of the Turk of the Ninetonath entury. Read this story and understand why the Turk is the ally of the Hun—read this story of blood-lust and unbridled than any fiction ever dared be—one of the most intense and thrilling tales of Oriental life ever penned, and every wo. told as only that great weaver of word pictures, Alexandre Dumas, could tell it, in his ‘ions—wilder of it true, but THE CELEBRATED CRIMES OF HISTORY NEVER BEFORE TRANSLATED The millions of English readers and admirers of the works of Alexandre Dumas will hail with keen delight this, the first and absolutely the on/y complete and unexpurgated translation of Dumas’ Les Crimes Cevesres, now for the first time available at a price within the reach of all readers.

Brilliantly worked into a vivid picture of the Dark Ages are the vices and crimes of that ¢x- traordinary family, the Borgias, that furnished one Pope of Rome, and some of the blackest pages in history. Here we see the whole murderous, poisonous crew with their greedy craving for debauchery, flattery, titles and gold.
