Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Epitome of Modern European Literature My object in publishing this unpretending volume is simply to place a sort of bird´s-eye view of modern European literature within the reach even of those who have but little time to devote to reading. I would also gladly share with others the pleasure I have myself derived from following the divers trains of thought pursued by writers born in various climes, schooled in languages of such varied idiomatic construction, and growing up under dissimilar social habits. In the languages which are but little known I have been able to select those authors who stand as leaders in the foremost rank, - such as Kisfaludy for Hungarian, Pushkin for Russian, etc. In German and French, which everybody knows, it was much harder to choose. Nobody would thank me for giving one of Racine´s tragedies or one of Moliere´s comedies, as these already have a place in every library; neither could one reasonably expect me to crowd one of George Sand´s or Victor Hugo´s three-volume novels into the seventeenth part of a twelvemo. Even there, however, I have been able to select works which had never been translated, and which are in some degree characteristic of the country to which each belongs. I would gladly have given specimens of Bulgarian and Wendish and some of the Romanese and Rouman, but I was not able to find anything but some ballads, already translated.
