Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Crusoe in New York: And Other Tales So far as these little stories have met the public eye, they have called forth criticism from two points of view. It is said, on the one hand, that the moral protrudes too obviously; that if a preacher wants to preach, he had better preach and be done with it; that, in the nineteenth century, which is given to realism, nobody wants "invented example," or stories written to enforce certain theories of right. It is said, on the other hand, that the stories have no right to be, because they have no purpose; that nobody can tell what the author is driving at, - perhaps he cannot tell himself; and that, in the nineteenth century, nobody has any right to thrust upon an exhausted world stories which are not true unless they teach a lesson. It was early settled for me by the critics, in my little experience as a story-writer, that it is wrong for an author to make his stories probable, - that he who does this is a forger and "a counterfeiter." There is, however, high authority for teaching by parable and that parable - which has a very great air of probability.
