Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Friar Tuck: Being the Chronicles of the Reverend John Carmichael, of Wyoming, U. S. An;, As Set Forth and Embellished by His Friend and Admirer; Happy Hawkins Reviews are not infrequently colored by a temporary elevation of the critic´s mind (or a temporary depression of the critic´s liver), advertisements are not invariably free from bias; so, perhaps, a few words of friendly warning will not be considered impertinent. Whosoever is squeamishly sensitive as to the formal technique of literary construction will save himself positive irritation by avoiding this book. It is a told, rather than a written story; and this is a compromise which defies Art and frankly turns to the more elastic methods of Nature. It is supposed to be told by an outdoor man in those delightful moments of relaxation when the restraint of self-consciousness is dropped, and the spirit flows forth with a freedom difficult to find, outside the egoism of childhood. This general suggestion is easily tossed out; but the reader must supply the details - the night camps with the pipes sending up incense about the tiny fires, the winter evenings when the still cold lurks at the threshold or the blizzard howls around the log corners; or those still more elusive moments when the riding man shifts his weight to a single thigh, and tells the inner story which has been rising from his open heart to his closed lips for many a long mile. Nor will these details suffice to complete the atmosphere in which, bit by bit, the story is told. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
