MAURUS JOKAI

THE GREEN BOOK OR _FREEDOM UNDER THE SNOW_

A Novel

TRANSLATED BY MRS. WAUGH

NEW YORK HARPER & BROTHERS PUBLISHERS 1897

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

BLACK DIAMONDS. A Novel. Translated by Frances A.
Gerard. With a Photogravure Portrait of the Author.
16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50. (In "The Odd Number
Series.")

One of the best of the novels of Mr. Jokai that have
thus far been put into English.... The story is a happy
blend of the elements of romance with those of
every-day life.... The action is varied, animated, and
sufficiently exciting to sustain the reader's interest,
to which a constant appeal is also made by the fresh
and piquant aspects given the book by its Hungarian
atmosphere.--_Dial_, Chicago.
