Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Figures Famed in Fiction, Drawn From the Original Sources To present with few but vivid strokes a number of graphic delineations of noted figures in fiction is the aim of this series of character sketches. These outlines, brief but retaining every essential, have been drawn from the best and most celebrated offerings in the world of novels and are here presented in the hope that they may direct attention to the larger works from which they have been derived and incite desire to become familiar with the originals. Equally important is their mission to those overwhelmed by the multiplicity of demands upon their time in this age of feverish activity. Familiarity with the great characters in story is not only desirable but practically indispensable for intelligent social intercourse, and, in general, for a clearer understanding of life. Therefore these outlines of the famous personnel of the foremost novels of modern times are designed to be of service to the general reader whose acquaintance with the best in literature must be won with the least possible expenditure of time if, indeed, at all. Throughout the series it is the intent to preserve unimpaired the moral strength and the inherent beauty of the original writings, and even in such brief presentations to retain the breadth of the author´s conception and a firm grasp on scene and situation. A boon to be coveted indeed is intimacy with the heroes and heroines who always leave an indelible impress on every open mind as they live and act their fascinating roles in the realm of fiction.
