Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Black Drop Since the war has knocked out from under us the foundations of old conformities, it is difficult to decide whether to write the story of those men and women who walk the pages of that reality called fiction before 1914 or after. For they would be found, if they are malleable enough to be worth writing about at all, distinctly different people before and after that date. This story is about the Tracys, and the Tracys, when the world fell apart and tried to weld itself together again, were not the Tracys who were acted on by the catastrophe and the welding process. They often looked back, individuals of the family, at their old selves of a few years agone and felt, in a dazed groping, that such Tracys weren´t recognizable by present standards. Then they had been at ease in a secure prosperity, living delightfully at Grasslands, their inherited estate on the Massachusetts coast, and able to spend an occasional month in New York or Boston, or the more aggressive springs in Florida. Norris, the father of the family, who wrote novels much respected by the intellectual upper class and compiled textbooks that brought in an absurd income for the amount of live interest he put into them, was sagging a little toward the least picturesque attitude of middle life. He had not done what youth had led him to believe he might do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
