About this book

Gustav Adolfs Page is a German-language historical novella by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898), the Swiss German writer who was one of the leading figures of late nineteenth-century German-language historical fiction alongside Theodor Fontane and Gottfried Keller. Meyer specialised in Renaissance and early modern settings and produced a series of taut psychological novellas including Jürg Jenatsch, Der Heilige, and Die Versuchung des Pescara. Gustav Adolfs Page is set during the Thirty Years' War in the camp of the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus, and centres on a young woman who disguises herself as a male page to serve at the king's side in the days before the battle of Lützen in 1632. The novella is admired for its compressed historical atmosphere and its careful prose.
