Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Slings and Arrows: From John Galsworthy John Galsworthy, born in 1867, is eminently an author of the twentieth century. His contributions to literature have been wide in scope, and yet he has maintained throughout a high level in thought and much freedom from eccentricity. He has written nine plays of distinguished quality; his novels betray a very real understanding of men and things; and from these one turns to his essays and poems to find them full of individuality and quiet charm. The spirit of his work can be best understood from his own words. "It is not cant to say that the only things vital in drama, as in every art, are achieved when the maker has fixed his soul on the making of a thing that shall seem fine to himself. It is the only standard; all the others - success, money, even the pleasure and benefit of other people - lead to confusion in the artist´s spirit, and to the making of dust castles. To please your best self is the only way of being sincere." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
