Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Subaltern´s Letters to His Wife The first thing is to pronounce veldt properly; not with the slatternly English vsound, but with the crisp German fow, or its parallel the English fso that it recalls the stuff that hats are made of. A gifted war-correspondent once wrote, at Bloemfontein, a long article in the Friend newspaper on The Inexpressible Veldt. I thought at the time, after a ciu:- sory consideration both of the internal euid external evidence afforded by the length of the said article and the general physical features of South Africa, that the writer ought to have headed his screed The Expressionless Veldt A thing about which a correspondent, busied with other matters, uid feeling the eflFects of the heat, can dash o Pfour columns between sunset euid simrise, is hardly to be termed inexpressible. And yet one could S3rmpathise with that author; there is a fine flavour of the ox3nmoron about his title which whets the literary appetite, as though a man should say: This is not for mortals to express, and lo !here are four columns. But I have corrected my first impressions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
