HTML version by Al Haines. "The Prince of India; Or, Why Constantinople Fell — Volume 02" by Lew Wallace is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the events surrounding the fall of Constantinople and features characters embroiled in various political, spiritual, and personal conflicts during this tumultuous period. Central to the narrative is the figure of the titular Prince, who likely plays a crucial role in the unfolding drama that encompasses both the political landscape and the human stories caught within it. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is set in the lush gardens of Blacherne Palace, where the Princess Irene interacts with her guests, demonstrating her compassion for the less fortunate. This idyllic scene is contrasted with the undercurrents of tension as monastic figures like Sergius grapple with moral dilemmas concerning loyalty and the implications of heresy in a deeply divided society. The tension escalates with revelations that threaten the Princess’s reputation, prompting Sergius to consider his obligations to both the Church and the woman he admires. The beginning unfolds with a mix of personal interactions and societal observations, effectively establishing a rich backdrop against which larger themes of faith, governance, and the struggle between old beliefs and new ideas will be addressed.
