Summary "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 05 (of 15), German" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores key events and figures in German history, interweaving narratives of heroism, betrayal, and the struggles against foreign dominion, focusing on both legendary and historical tales. The book covers a range of significant individuals and moments, such as the valor of Hermann (Arminius) against Roman forces, and later stories involving the Lombard king Alboin and others that shaped the Germanic realm. The opening of the volume centers on Hermann, a leader among the Cherusci who rises against the Roman Empire's attempts to subdue Germania. As Rome's prefect Varus mismanages his campaign, Hermann orchestrates a rebellion, ultimately leading to a pivotal battle where Roman legions face devastating defeat. This opening sets the stage for a narrative filled with themes of resistance, national pride, and the fight for freedom against oppressors, highlighting Hermann's transformation from a Roman ally to a patriotic leader, along with the personal sacrifices and tragedies intertwined with his resistance.
