Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Classic Tales, Serious and Lively: Collected by Leigh Hunt The "Moral Tales" of Marmontel are a species of narrative dramas. They have their fables, and their characters, and their peculiar scenery: the fable is some action of life and manners: the fidelity of the painting to the original in life constitutes its chief excellence. It is this, in fact, which may be termed the peculiar talent of Marmontel. He selects for his fable some certain action; something which we see daily passing in the domestic intercourse of life, and with equal judgment and accuracy follows it through all its parts with a representation as exact as lively. His tale is thus a domestic picture, a representation of manners as seen in the action which he has chosen for his subject. His dramatis personæ are as natural and as domestic as his fable; they are all of a piece, and seem as if taken together and existing only for each other. They are imitated with the same fidelity as the action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
