Kostia the Cossack
註釋"General P.N. Krassnoff's invasion of the field of the historical novel is an intense dramatization of the life of Russia in the middle of the 17th century, with the Cossack as the centre of the action. The precise period is the reign of the first Czar of that Romanoff dynasty the tragic fall of which was so vividly portrayed in the same author's "Double Eagle to Red Flag". ... The heart of the drama is the desperate struggle between the Cossacks of the Don and the Turks for Azov, key to the Black Sea, but the adventures of the young hero, a nobleman of Moscow, carry him all the way to Lhassa and the presence of the Grand Lama beside whom sits God Himself." (Henry Irving Bock, foreward page vii)
