Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of Flemish Life Respected Readers, - To you, my good friends, who have remained true to the story-teller, however much his name and office have been abused, I bring good news to-day. I have been ill. My spirit was weary, my soul disenchanted, my body sick. I, endowed by God - if with nothing else, at least with energy, life, and universal love - sank into the deepest dejection, and became alarmed as I felt a deadly poison - it might have been misanthropy - taking possession of my soul. Have I not seen, for the first time in my life, in these incomprehensible times, every selfish passion rage - naked! shameless? Gross injustice and crime legalized by the struggle for existence, as murder is legalized by war? And the holiest thing of all - the elevation of Flanders - the aspiration of my youth, the endeavour of my manlier years - but let us not speak of that; I have a wound in my heart which might begin to bleed afresh. Let us talk of sweeter memories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
