Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hoofmarks of the Faun Two of the six stories in this book were written long before the others; all at considerable intervals. This must explain their apparent inequality in craftsmanship. I tried to correct them, but found that in doing so I was imposing one mood on another and blurring both with contradiction. I left them as they were. Craftsmanship is not everything, and those old moods seem to me almost worth regretting, because they are irretrievable. So I print the six stories together in a volume that has, for myself, the sentimental interest of a diary, and for others, perhaps, the interest of seeing, in a form very far from direct expression, various stages of boyhood and manhood. The Scandinavian dream of twenty, the would-be realism of twenty-one, and the fauns and other imaginations of later youth, represent, as it were, salutes to six of those funerals that go their way whenever one mood or vision of life reluctantly gives place to another. L´humeur est morte: vive l´humeur. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
