Count Julian Gebir is a poetic and philosophical work written by Walter Savage Landor. The book is set in medieval Spain and tells the story of Count Julian, a nobleman who betrays his country and allies with the Moors in order to seek revenge on the king. The narrative is structured as a series of dialogues between Julian and his daughter, who questions his motives and morality. Through these conversations, Landor explores themes of betrayal, vengeance, and the nature of justice. The book is known for its lyrical language and vivid descriptions of the Spanish landscape. It is considered a classic of Romantic literature and a masterpiece of poetic prose.ABD. Julian, to thee, the terror of the faithless, I bring my father's order, to prepare For the bright day that crowns thy brave exploits: Our enemy is at the very gate! And art thou here, with women in thy train, Crouching to gain admittance to their lord, And mourning the unkindness of delay!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
