Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Girl in the Karpathians The advisability of having a preface to the fourth edition has been pointed out by various friends. I well remember how I had not the courage to offer one, nor yet this present introduction, to the first. I was sending out a little work belonging to no distinct literary category; it was not a "Tale of Adventure," and I recall repeated whimperings of regret as I explained to my publisher that I had never been within paw´s-length of a bear; that there were no hairbreadth ´scapes - in fact, no genuine bookstall sensations to win the suffrages of the public. It was merely the record of a girl´s summer roaming and a girls summer thoughts, told in her own way, and with a disregard of conventions she saw no reason to respect. That many other people would care to follow so trivial a journey or consider such rootless and unpretentious thoughts, I did not for a moment believe. Honestly, I am not sure that I even figured to myself the recognition of a sympathetic few, or sales enough to recoup the publisher, who, despite my repeated and confidential warnings, persisted in his leap in the dark. Since then my book has been what is called "a success." An acrid friend commented only yesterday that the book that is read is not necessarily the good book.
