Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Deuce and All There is but one way to regain youth, and it has been known of all antiquity. Fresh life has to be infused into the aged body. The old man must needs fill his veins with a warm stream of blood - the blood of youth. Sorcerers and Magicians, the holy and the damned - all have been seeking Life´s Elixir. It was so simple, so easy, and so utterly dangerous! There is no such danger in attempting to rejuvenate human ideas. Their value is incommensurable higher than the worth of individual human life - and in accordance with an almost universal way of thinking, they are cheap on the market. My purpose is to submit one to a certain class of readers - The intelligent one, as every author worth his salt is wont to believe of the class for whose intellect or sentimentality he caters. The proposal I submit is that Short Story being aged and white-haired, beggarly dressed, cousue de fil blanc as the French have it, it behoves the most sensible public, that is the English reading public, to rejuvenate Short Story. How? By the seeking of new and strange plots? No; not necessarily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
