Lepidus the Centurion

A classic historical fantasy revolving around immortality, a theme that was dear to Edwin Lester Arnold and the writers of the late 19th Century. Marcus Lepidus accepts the position of Centurion to be near the maiden he was in love with, only to meet a premature death. Centuries later, he is brought back to life and finds himself in world much different from his own and while he tries to adapt to his new life he also offers a unique view on the modern and perhaps more civilized world. Mystery, history and romance mix in a tale that overcomes the boundaries of time. This version includes the full text of the 1901 edition, a short biography of the author and the complete bibliography of Arnold's fictional and non-fictional works.
