Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miggles and Other Stories Some years ago, Thomas Starr King, then unknowingly near the end of his short but noble and glowing life, was guiding an acquaintance through the dingy, gold-strewn recesses of the Government Mint building in San Francisco. Pausing before entering the Secretary´s little office, he said: "Now I want you to meet a young man who will be heard of far and wide some of these days." The visitor went in and was introduced to Francis Bret Harte, then Secretary of the Branch Mint. We all know the later career of the young writer has more than justifies the affectionate dedication of Starr King; for, since that day, Bret Harte´s fame has, to borrow the language of his admiring German translator, "extended from the coasts of the North Sea." ´his works have drawn hearts to him where the language of Shakespeare, of Milton, and Byron is spoken."
