Felicitas: A Tale of the German Migrations, A.D. 476 is a historical fiction novel written by German author Felix Dahn and first published in 1883. The story is set in the 5th century during the migration period of the Germanic tribes, specifically the Ostrogoths, and follows the life of the titular character, Felicitas. Felicitas is a young woman who is born into a noble family of the Ostrogoths. However, her life takes a turn when the Huns, led by Attila, invade their homeland and force them to flee. Felicitas and her family join a group of Ostrogoths who seek refuge in Italy under the leadership of Theodoric the Great. The novel explores the challenges and struggles that Felicitas and her family face as they adapt to their new life in Italy, including navigating the complex politics and power struggles between the Ostrogoths, the Romans, and other Germanic tribes. Along the way, Felicitas experiences love, loss, and betrayal as she tries to find her place in this new world.Through Felicitas' story, Dahn provides a vivid portrayal of the migration period and the cultural clashes that defined it. The novel also offers insights into the social and political structures of the Ostrogoths and their interactions with other tribes and civilizations. Overall, Felicitas: A Tale of the German Migrations, A.D. 476 is a compelling historical fiction novel that offers a glimpse into a fascinating period of European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
