Description
The Prince of India is Lew Wallace’s monumental two-volume work that reimagines the fall of Constantinople in 1453 through historical fiction and detailed narrative. The novel weaves together the perspectives of various historical figures and introduces the enigmatic Prince of India as a catalyst in the city’s ultimate collapse.
