Heroic Serbia
M. Victor Bérard is one of the ablest and most cultivated French political writers. Born in 1864 and educated at the Ecole Normale Supérieure he rapidly distinguished himself by the brilliance of his intellect and the versatility of his talent. His Hellenic studies stimulated his interest in Near Eastern questions, and after publishing, in 1894, his first important work 44 De l'Origine des Cultes Arcadiens," he produced in rapid succession valuable works upon Turkey and Hellenism, the policy of Sultan Abdul Hamid, Macedonia, and Cretan affairs. In 1900 he published one of the best books yet written on England and British Imperialism, in the preparation of which he had the assistance of the late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. Returning then to his classical studies he produced an excellent work upon the Phoenicians and the Odyssey, which was followed by a series of volumes on foreign questions, including works on Russia and on " France and William II."
