Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Susan in Sicily: Her Adventures and Those of Her Friends During Their Travels and Sojourns in the Garden of the Mediterranean The letters collected in this little volume were written during a stay of several months in Sicily. It is possible that my critics may find - and very justly so - that these letters lack elegance, distinction, or picturesqueness of style; that Susan´s pen failed in ability to paint with sufficient warmth the vivid setting of her adventures. She bows modestly to their wholesome teaching, which she both recognizes and appreciates. It is for this reason that she presumes to tell them that every incident here related is a picture from actual life, and the major number of the situations of which she has written came directly within her experience. The others were told her at first hand. Naturally, the names, dates, and exact localities are changed. The supplementary letter concerning the earthquake is a free translation of the authentic description given by the young wife of an officer, who lived through those days and nights of horror.
