Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tame Animals I Have Known: With Apologies to Such Wild Animals as May Feel Aggrieved by Comparision These stories are true enough. Although I have left the strict line of historical truth in several dozen places, the animals herein set forth are all living characters, - or were, at last accounts. They lived the lives I have depicted, and they show, or showed, the stamp of heredity and personality more strikingly by far than it has been in the power of my typewriter to tell. I believe, as also do Mr. Thompson-Seton and others, that natural history has lost much by the vague general treatment that is so common. What satisfaction would be derived from a ten-page sketch of the habits and the customs of Animals in general? How much more gossipy and profitable it would be to devote that space to some particular individual. This is the principle I have endeavored to apply to my Animals. The real personality of the individual and his view of life are my theme, rather than the ways of the race in general, as viewed by a casual and hostile human eye. The fact that these stories are true enough is the reason why they are not tragic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
