Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles Dickens The façade of a quaint little building in Lincoln´s Inn Field, London, bears the following words: "Old Curiosity Shop; immortalized by Charles Dickens." This is not the original building in which the writer set his famous story. And the language is that of hyperbole. No writer is known to be immortal, inasmuch as we who call him so must be ourselves immortal to pronounce judgment. Nor has any writer of them yet learned the trick of perpetuity. When we call Shakespeare or Homer "immortal," we mean, and can only mean, that a certain author has survived the obliteration of time a few hundred or a few thousand years, a mere nothing in the great onward sweep of the universe; indeed, not much in the course of the established records of men. Nevertheless, that inscription above the portal in Portsmouth Street is significant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
