Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stamboul Nights "Yes," said Sir Thomas, speaking of a fashionable novel, "it certainly does seem strange; but the novelist was right. Such things do happen." "But my dear sir," I burst out, in the rudest manner, "think what life really is - just think what happens! Why people suddenly swell up, turn dark purple; hang themselves on meat hooks; they are drowned in horse-ponds, run over by butchers´ carts, burnt alive and cooked like mutton chops!" - Logan Pearsall Smith: Trivia. Of the following stories five have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, three in Scribner´s Magazine, and one each in Appleton´s Magazine, the English Review, Harper´s Weekly, McClure´s Magazine, and Putnam´s Monthly. To the courtesy of the editors and publishers of these periodicals I am indebted for permission to tell my tales a second time - although I may add that not one of the tales is told identically as it was the first time. I am also under obligations to Messrs. Charles Scribner´s Sons for kindly allowing me to use again an illustration and a Turkish seal already published by them. The sketch entitled "Mehmish" has for excellent reasons been despised and rejected of all editors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
