Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-One Letters of Ambrose Bierce Nine years mark the disappearance of Ambrose Bierce and yet a biography or critical essay in appreciation of the poet, satirist, adventurer, journalist and supreme story-teller, still remains to be written. In the meantime, Herman Melville, touted with Poe and Whitman as one of the three distinct landmarks in American literature, seems to have achieved hectic permanence. The past half-dozen years have seen the decline and fall of O. Henry. Edgar Saltus, a man of genius with the limitation of his environment and a public that has seen fit to sniff over "Imperial Purple" and utterly ignore "The Imperial Orgy", is dead for a year and the brothers of the rare book alone attest to his limited but safe security. Of Messrs. Hergesheimer and Cabell let us say little - very little. Pater and Stevenson, with a combination and admixture of Yankee perspicacity, never yet conspired to make two helpless and hopeless souls, men of genius. One chapter in "Jurgen", alone saves the book from altogether chaos. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
