Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Short Stories of the New America The purpose of this book of short stories of modem American life is twofold. First, these narratives give an interpretation of certain great forces and movements in the life of this age. All the authors represented are especially qualified to describe with force and feeling some phase of contemporary life. Thinking people everywhere realize that it is not enough to place before young folks the bare facts in regard to community and national life. The heart must be warmed, the feelings must be stirred, before the will can be aroused to noble action in any great movement. The first aim of this book, then, is to help to place clearly before young people the ideals of America through the medium of literature that will grip the attention and quicken the will to action. Second, librarians have stated that there are very few compilations of modem short stories of interest and significance with which to meet the needs of young people who turn to the libraries for help in reading. It is hoped that this book may supply the need of libraries and homes for a book of live and valuable short stories.
