Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifth Reader: A Ballad of Tress and the Master In former books you have had fables, tales, and poems from juvenile classics. Now you are entering into companionship with the mighty masters of literature and with the creatures of their fancy. Here you are introduced to Portia, Rip Van Winkle, David Copperfield, the Primroses, and other charming people of the book world, with the hope that you will like them too well to confine your acquaintance within the brief limits necessary in this book. If you have access to a library, you may read the books from which these selections are taken, but do not be content with that. Begin now to form a library of your very own, remembering that it is better to have a few good book friends than many casual acquaintances, and that you do not really own a book until you possess its inside as well as its outside. Collect a heart library as well as a home library, storing in your memory beautiful poems and noble prose. In this book you have a brief introduction to Greek life and art. There are no more beautiful tales than the old Greek legends of gods and heroes; there is no more interesting story than the history of this handful of men, who two thousand years ago ruled the known world, and who to-day dominate the world of thought and of art. It is as much a part of a good education to become familiar with the masterpieces of art as with the masterpieces of literature. True, the originals of most of the Greek marbles are in English, French, and Italian galleries, but there are good photographs and casts to be had at reasonable prices. Just as you have your own books, you may have your own pictures, representing the world´s masterpieces. As in the preceding books of this series, a few authors are chosen for special study. It is hoped that the brief biographical studies and the selections will be supplemented by as full study as possible of the lives and works of these authors. The selections in this book have such literary and explanatory notes as are necessary, and suggestions for supplementary reading. It may be well to repeat here the advice given as to the mechanics of reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
