Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gathered by the Way This volume contains a collection of epigrammatical sayings, poems and prose writings that, mostly under the mask of fiction, convey observations of human existence, in its various forms, to the reader´s mind. The author claims that it is a kaleidoscope which will fascinate from beginning to end. To philosophers the "Birdseye views" will be new. For those who wish to be entertained solely, the second part, consisting of short, well written, humorous and pathetic stories, will be a welcome gift. The lover of poetry will have, in the third part, a series of patriotic songs, for instance, on Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, etc., and lyrical effusions, that will keep him interested, to say the least. The reader who wishes to know what treasures of literature the Germans own will find, in the last part, masterpieces of Goethe, Heine, Freiligrath, Chamisso and especially Fritz Reuter, whose humoristic works are altogether unknown to the English speaking nations. These translations are nearly verbal and return the full sense of their originals, and will be welcome to all, for reasons named in the introductory note of the author on the following page, to which we call special attention.
