Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lady Lilith "Conceive of your life as an unfinished biography, and try to discover the next chapter and the end." J. A. Spender: "The Comments Of Bagshot." "Within ten years five of us will be married and five will be dead," cried O´Rane, writing rapidly. "(Every one of us will have made such a fool of himself that it´s wishing himself dead he´ll be.) One will have had to cut the country. One will have lost all his money. As you seem to like jam with your powder, I´ve said that one - and not more - will achieve fame - by the mercy of God; one - and not more - will make great money." The prophecy, delivered with apparent sincerity in the mellow atmosphere of dinner to a score of men between the optimistic ages of twenty and twenty-five, was, on the face of it, discouraging. He who achieved fame and he who amassed a fortune were condemned, with the rest, to pass through the contemplation of suicide or, at least, the prayerful expectation of death. And the moment for the forecast was undoubtedly ill-chosen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
