Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jim On November 28th last, while this book was in the making, there was printed in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger a paragraph saying that "several well-known radicals appear in ´Jim.´ That statement is absolutely mistaken: not only are my so-called radicals creatures of my imagination, but there is no person, radical or other, in this novel who, so far as I know, has any prototype in real life. I do believe that our divorce-courts are hood-winked by many of the parties that appeal to them. I do believe that some "radicals" make their creed ridiculous by buffoonery, and that others basely use their radicalism as an excuse for moral laziness, even moral turpitude. But I had no particular divorced persons in mind when I wrote of Charley Vanaman and the woman he married - no particular radicals in mind when I attempted to depict certain faults and foibles in the people with whom Vanaman and his wife came into contact. General types and modern tendencies I have of course tried to portray; and I have tried, as every honest writer of fiction must, to make my people seem alive as they move across the printed page. Nevertheless, the people as individuals - the wife, her lovers, relatives, friends, acquaintances and enemies - are not intended to be, and are not, portraits of any living individuals; their characters are their own only, and for their deeds, both good and ill, no person in real life may truly be held accountable.
