Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Thirteen Travellers Somewhere in the early nineties was Absalom Jay´s first period. He was so well-known a figure in London at that time as to be frequently caricatured in the weekly society journals, and Spy´s "Absalom," that appeared in the 1894 volume of Vanity Fair, is one of his most successful efforts. In those days were any one so ignorant as to be compelled to ask who Jay was he would probably receive the answer: "Oh, don´t you know? He´s a cousin of John Beaminster´s. He founded the "Warrington" with Pemmy Stevens. He´s... Oh, I don´t know... He goes everywhere. Knows more people than anyone else in London, I should imagine." Spy´s caricature of him has caught that elegant smartness that was Absalom´s most marked individuality, too smart critics have been known to say; and certainly, if the ideal of correct dress is that no one should notice your clothes Absalom was not correct. Everyone always noticed his clothes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
