Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Call of the Sea: A Prose Anthology Sins of omission and commission arc the way of every compiler of anthologies, and without doubt this little collection has its share. I can only plead that these are no result of carelessness, but purely of faulty taste, for the passages herein gathered are the result of much weighing, the residue after much sifting, and at any rate I hope that, even though the reader is certain to object to some of my choice, and to regret the absence of favourites of his own, he will bear in mind the difficulties of selection, having in view a moderate compass for the whole. A word is needed with reference to the translations from the classics. To the classical scholar, translation of Homer is heresy. The "modern side" would be equally affronted with the original only. There was no room for both. The choice had to be made, and perhaps my choice has been the wrong one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
