The Longman,Green, Co. Publisher's Original Advertisement: SAVROLA. A Tale of the Revolution in Laurania. By Winston Spencer Churchill. This story, as its sub-title indicates, deals chiefly with the incidents of the rebellion of the citizens of an imaginary republic against a tyrannical dictator, though the narrative of the events leading up to the outbreak, and of the fighting in the city streets, is relieved by the love interest created by the relations of Savrola and Lucile. The New York Times, in a review published on the completion of the serial issue of the story, called it "A dashing tale, told with much force and vigor." ...and... Excerpts from: "The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art," Volume 89 WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL AS NOVELIST. IT was inevitable that Sir Winston Spencer Churchill should write a novel, and it is gratifying that his novel should be very far from a failure. But it is a daring thing for a beginner to attempt the novel of political intrigue. "Les Rois en Exil" is perhaps the only book of this stamp which won great and enduring success, and Mr. Churchill has much to learn from Daudet—or from life.... ...his romance trickles languidly through exciting incidents which fail to move, and it is some time before he finds his feet, so to say, and advances vigorously. It would be unfair to summarise the plot, but it may be said that the sub-title gives an excellent idea of the book. The actual revolution in Laurania bursts in upon the reader and rouses him to life. Here is the reality of street-fighting, here the pathetic heroism for petty causes that marks the faction fight. The battle chapters are extraordinarily vivid, and the writer never postures in the adornment of grotesque phrases, never obtrudes his personality. It is a story well told. ...In "Savrola" we have to take the characters for granted, and watch the way in which they mould events. It is an active conception of life. In the more ordinary novel of intrigue we watch the manner in which events develop character. It is the advantage which the novelist claims over the historian, who, given known events, has to infer the character, the vital essence, of the real persons who moved amongst them. The novelist can create his characters, and start with them as a basis for his drama: to him, as a rule, events are but the opportunities for revealing the nature (already conceived) of his men and women. Winston Churchill has forsworn his artistic birthright: his events are real, his people abstractions. Lucile in this book is, we are told, very beautiful: we believe Mr. Churchill, since he must know, but we never see her for ourselves. Now Mr. Geo. Meredith does not repeatedly tell us that Clara Middleton was beautiful, but what reader of "The Egoist" doubts it Mr. Churchill must not complain if we try him by a high standard: his work is worthy of a severe test. Savrola, the revolutionary leader, is not unreal, but we have met his like in other novels. The sudden caprice of Lucile is left inexplicable: she is incredibly light, yet the author would have us take her seriously. ...The young novelist is prone to seize the opportunity of making his characters say things which he fancies are brilliant, but which he should not say himself in real life lest he be found wearisome. He should really resist the temptation to talk philosophy by proxy. And, if his Lucile pleases him, he would do well to imitate Stevenson's reticence and write stories unfluttered by the trail of a skirt. ...But with all these limitations, "Savrola" has merit. Had we to discuss it in two or three lines, those lines would be laudatory: since we think it worth more detailed criticism, we must in all charity dwell on the defects.
