Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Characters of Fiction In such an age as the present, when the craving for novels and tales of all kinds is constantly on the increase, and apparently almost insatiable, it seems as if it may be useful to present the subject of fiction in a new and different light - as a profitable study rather than as a mere indulgence wherewith to while away an idle hour. The love of fiction is rooted in the human soul: witness the child´s eager petition, ´Tell me a story;´ witness the power of the minstrel bard, the improvisatore, the story- teller in all ages; witness the romances, the legends, and the tales of folk-lore surviving in all countries ever since the childhood of the world; witness the immortal power of such books as the Pilgrim´s Progress, Robinson Crusoe, and the Arabian Nights, which hold their own from generation to generation.
