Called in the original " Geimer," this novel of the fall of the Vandal Kingdom in Africa is in the English translation a very readable and dramatic story, with all the contrasts which make for the popularity of stories of the decadent Roman period. In essence it is a tragedy of tragedies, the bloody destruction of the whole Germanic race which, after sacking Rome, ruled for a hundred years upon the site of Old Carthage.
Felix Ludwig Julius Dahn was a German lawyer, author and historian. Dahn's writings were extremely influential in forming the conception of the European history unfolding during the first millennium CE which dominated German-speaking countries during the late 19th and early 20th century. His multi-volume Prehistory of the Germanic and Roman Peoples, a chronology of the European Völkerwanderung (Migration Period) that first appeared in print in 1883, was so definitive that abbreviated versions were reprinted until the late 1970s. His works contributed to the foundation of National Socialism in Germany while his book Ein Kampf um Rom encouraged a "voelkisch avant-garde" who feared the supposed danger of ethnic mixing.
