About the author

Karl Emil Franzos was a popular Austrian novelist of the late 19th century. His works, both reportage and fiction, concentrate on the multi-ethnic corner of Galicia, Podolia and Bukovina, now largely in Ukraine, where the Habsburg and Russian empires met. This area became so closely associated with his name that one critic called it "Franzos country". A number of his books were translated into English, and Gladstone is said to have been among his admirers.

Reviews

[K · Rating 3 out of 5]

For the Right is the tale of a Ruthene man in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his internal struggle to keep his moral integrity amidst greed, power-grabs, and class problems in his small community. Written nearly 200 years ago, it is dry reading now, and could use significant editing, but it does convey life at that time quite well despite that. Is it action-packed and fast-paced? Is it for the typical reader? No...but if you are interested in the period, it is an interesting and informative read.
