Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Blindman´s World and Other Stories The first book of Edward Bellamy´s which I read was "Dr. Heidenhoff´s Process," and I thought it one of the finest feats in the region of romance which I had known. It seemed to me all the greater because the authors imagination wrought in it on the level of average life, and built the fabric of its dream out of common clay. The simple people and their circumstance were treated as if they were persons whose pathetic story he had witnessed himself, and he was merely telling it. He wove into the texture of their sufferings and their sorrows the magic thread of invention so aptly and skillfully that the reader felt nothing improbable in it. One even felt a sort of moral necessity for it, as if such a clue not only could be, but must be given for their escape. It became not merely probable, but imperative, that there should be some means of extirpating the memory which fixed a sin in lasting remorse, and of thus saving the soul from the depravity of despair. When it finally appeared that there was no such means, one reader, at least, was inconsolable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
