Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Launching of a Man "J´ai un grand besoin d´un cheval." The professor sat before a desk upon a raised platform in the recitation room in which the sophomores were assembled to have trouble with conic sections. Upon the wall behind the professor was a huge blackboard; between him and the blackboard stood a young man holding in one hand a slip of paper upon which a problem was indicated and in the other a chalk pencil. The professor, as he was situated, could not see the blackboard without turning in his seat, as he did occasionally, to note the progress of the student with the problem. So it was that he did not see the sentence in moderately bad French which the student had written with a grin and then swiftly obliterated after it had been seen by the laughing class. The sentence conveyed to sympathizing friends the idea: "I am in great need of a ´horse´." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
