Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Matthew Austin "I Ought to be ashamed of myself," said Matthew Austin; "upon my word, I ought to be ashamed of myself! What business has any man to be such a sybarite, while millions of his fellow-men are toiling from morning to night in coal mines and hideous, stifling factories, without so much as knowing that they live in a beautiful world? Millions upon millions who haven´t even been allowed to learn, except in the coarsest and most rudimentary way, what the gratification of the senses means - condemned to lifelong servitude, looking forward to no change for the better on this side of the grave, though many of them must dread a change for the worse, and only a very few have some vague hope of compensation hereafter. It is really monstrous; and even if their lot be inevitable, one hardly sees why they should accept it as such. We, the wealthy and educated minority, shouldn´t accept it if we were suddenly forced to change places with them, and found ourselves in an overwhelming majority. Some day there will be a vast social upheaval, I suppose." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
