Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Harvest Life has been called a scene of adventure tempered by a little philosophy on the way. It is not exactly my view, but the majority incline to it as the only one that reconciles the rule of thumb to self-respect. Hence, I suppose, the fascination of pure romance in The Arabian Nights, Gil Blas, Tom Jones, or even at a distance from these, the egregious Roderick Random with the due subservience of its hopes of immortality. The earlier romances are mostly of this cast; and I should be glad to get the benefit of it, if only I could plead their license of invention. Happily the adventure being sometimes in the nature of spiritual experience, does not always involve shipwreck and the shooting of lions. But it is invariably events and incidents first, and the moral, if anywhere, only at the end of the journey. The old masters at any rate usually began with a birth as the greatest of all accidents, and never stopped till they had got their hero married at least, and not seldom comfortably entombed. I was born, alas! as far back as 1840; and there is still so much to see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
