Vergilius a Tale of the Coming of Christ is a historical fiction novel written by Irving Bacheller. The story is set in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Augustus and follows the life of a young poet named Vergilius. Vergilius is a talented writer who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is torn between his love for poetry and his duty to his family. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he meets a mysterious stranger who tells him about the coming of a new king who will bring peace to the world. As Vergilius begins to learn more about this new king, he becomes convinced that he is the one who has been prophesied about. He embarks on a journey to find the king and becomes caught up in a battle between good and evil. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters including a young girl named Lydia and a wise old man named Simeon. Vergilius a Tale of the Coming of Christ is a gripping story that explores themes of faith, love, and redemption. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of hope and the belief in something greater than oneself.1904. The book begins: Rome had passed the summits and stood looking into the dark valley of fourteen hundred years. Behind her the graves of Caesar and Sallust and Cicero and Catullus and Vergil and Horace; before her centuries of madness and treading down; round about her a multitude sickening of luxury, their houses filled with spoil, their mouths with folly, their souls with discontent; above her only mystery and silence; in her train, philosophers questioning if it were not better for a man had he never been born-deeming life a misfortune and extinction the only happiness; poets singing no more of pleasantries and trifles, but seeking favor with poor obscenities.
