Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tour Round My Garden While so many foreign authors are enjoying an English reputation scarcely inferior to that by which they are distinguished in their own land, it is rather remarkable that the works of Alphonse Karr should be so little known in this country. There are few writers who have shewn such keen perception of character, such true delicacy of feeling, and such real originality of thought, as are to be found in every page of this charming author. Through all his works there runs a vein of the gentlest feelings towards mankind, an appreciation of everything that is good and noble, and a sympathy with every kindly affection of our nature, rendered more piquant by a slight spice of genial misanthropy. His lively wit is directed lightly against the ordinary failings of mankind; and there is but one class of men for whom he has no mercy. He treats a sham much as an American Indian treats an enemy - he tomahawks him with an argument, scalps him with an epigram, and triumphantly despoils him of his borrowed plumes.
