Ligia is a novel written by Charles Gordon Hewitt and originally published in 1907. The story follows the life of Ligia, a young woman living in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero. Ligia is a Christian and her faith is put to the test as she struggles to navigate the dangerous and corrupt world around her.The novel is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of Ligia's life. The first part introduces Ligia and her family, as well as the political and social climate of Rome at the time. The second part focuses on Ligia's relationship with Marcus Vinicius, a Roman nobleman who falls in love with her. The third part follows Ligia's journey as she is captured by Nero and forced to fight for her life in the gladiatorial arena.Throughout the novel, Hewitt explores themes of faith, love, and redemption. He also provides a vivid depiction of ancient Rome, with detailed descriptions of the city, its people, and its customs. Despite being over a century old, Ligia remains a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
