Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Necessary Evil The Sitting-Room in John Heron´s House. Almost the first thing to catch the eye is the portrait of a Woman. It is not merely the size of the picture, not even the quality of the painting that attracts attention; but something in the woman herself. Perhaps it is wistfulness, pathos; perhaps a deep, calm understanding; perhaps beauty. She dominates this room like a presence, a spirit, the mother of all the living things it holds. Of these living things, there are books, music, inexpensive but good engravings, water-colours, all of them there apparently for use and enjoyment, not show. Signs of refinement and limited income, for those who can read the hieroglyphics of a room. Man is about: pipes, ash-trays, a wholesome smell of tobacco: perhaps also a little disorder. Something feminine, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
