Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The City of Comrades "No." "No?" "No." In the slow swirl of Columbus Circle, at the southwest corner of Central Park, two seedy, sinister individuals could hold an exceedingly private conversation without drawing attention to themselves. There were others like us on the scene, in that month of June, 1913, cast up from the obscurest depths of New York. We could revolve there for five or ten minutes, in company with other elements of the city´s life, to be eliminated by degrees, sucked into other currents, forming new combinations or reacting to the old ones. In silence we shuffled along a few paces, though not exactly side by side. Lovey was just sufficiently behind me to be able to talk confidentially into my ear. My own manner was probably that of a man anxious to throw off a dogging inferior. Even among us there are social degrees. "Yer´ll be sorry," Lovey warned me, reproachfully. "Very well, then," I jerked back at him over my shoulder; "I shall be sorry." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
