A copper clock hanging from the wall showed the hour of eleven, undoubtedly eleven o'clock in the night. The rain could be heard beating on the wooden roof overhead. They gaily discussed questions of marriage without letting out any word not modest. No, their talk was only about plans of the unmarried, and about droll events that had occurred during the wedding season. Occasionally they made a hint, perhaps a little too frank, on the delights of love. But love as understood by people of this stamp is always something wholesome and even in its crude state, it remains well-nigh chaste.

He is as brilliant and realistic an impressionist as any of his countrymen; but he is more than all a senti mentalist, and never describes a scene without the accompanying emotion which unites it to his soul and ours. The poet's passion for beauty is his own; but his expression of it is essentially Gallic, as it is never divested of the personal rela tion to himself. An abstract rapture over the frozen beauties of a Greek vase could never have arisen from the heart of this fascinating egotist. Like all poets, his nature is as deep as a well and as reflective as the mirror of its surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Though a young man as yet, Loti saw his work crowned with what in France may be considered the supreme sanction: he was elected to membership in the French Academy. His name became coupled with those of Bernardin de St. Pierre and of Cha teaubriand. With the sole exception of the au thor of Pam! And Virginia and of the writer of Aid/a, he seemed to be one without a predeces sor and without a master. It may be well here to inquire how much reason there is for this asser tion, and what novel features are presented in his work.

Book excerpt: An Iceland Fisherman is a novel by French author Pierre Loti. It depicts the romantic but inevitably sad life of Breton fishermen who sail each summer season to the stormy Iceland cod grounds. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterized it as "the most popular and finest of all his writings." Loti's style is a combination of the French realist school, such as Émile Zola, and a form of literary impressionism. As Jules Cambon says, Loti wrote at a "..time when M. Zola and his school stood at the head of the literary movement. There breathed forth from Loti's writings an all-penetrating fragrance of poesy , which liberated French literary ideals from the heavy and oppressive yoke of the Naturalistic school."Loti uses a simple vocabulary, "but these words, as used by him, take on a value we did not know they possessed; they awaken sensations that linger deeply within us." The characters are humble and simple working-class people, the incidents are normal every day affairs, dealing with the themes of love and separation. Loti's greatest strength is in the depictions of nature, placing it center stage, as Cambon says: He writes with extreme simplicity, and is not averse to the use of vague and indefinite expressions. And yet the wealth and precision of Gautier's and Hugo's language fail to endow their landscapes with the striking charm and intense life which are to be found in those of Loti. I can find no other reason for this than that which I have suggested above: the landscape, in Hugo's and in Gautier's scenes, is a background and nothing more; while Loti makes it the predominating figure of his drama. Our sensibilities are necessarily aroused before this apparition of Nature, blind, inaccessible, and all-powerful as the Fates of old.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the Birds of Iceland I have been studying the Birds of Iceland for some fifteen years, ever since my first visit to that most interesting country in 1885, and have often felt the want, at first especially, of a handy manual on the subject. But there is no such thing in the English language. As the available information is scattered, largely in driblets, amongst Icelandic, Danish, German, Latin, and English books and periodicals, it has occurred to me that it may be a convenience to English-speaking ornithologists to have this information revised and condensed in a handy form. And as, too, many of my fellow-countrymen visit Iceland to fish, geologise, botanise, study their health, or do nothing in particular - according to their various ways of taking life - and a good many of them, from my experience of them on board ship, seem inclined to take more or less interest in the birds they meet with there, it is possible that a handy manual on the subject may, in their case also, supply what is at present a want.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norourfari or Rambles in Iceland A Preface to a book, is a sort of pedestal where the author gets up to make a speech; frequently an apologizing ground, where he "drops in - hopes he don't intrude;" a little strip of green carpet near the foot-lights, where he bows to the audience, and with a trembling voice asks them to look with lenient eyes on his darling bantling that is just coming before the world. Very likely he tells of the numerous difficulties and disadvantages under which he has labored; perhaps apologizes for his style, under the plea of writing against time, and that he has been greatly hurried. Readers and critics are usually indulgent towards the minor faults of an author, provided he entertains or instructs them; but they pay little attention to special pleadings. The writer who deliberately perpetrates a stupid or silly book, deserves the fate of dunces - obloquy and contempt. If he adds to this the double crime of setting up a justification, and askst hat his work be not subject to the usual canons of criticism, then the reviewers should level their heaviest guns, pepper him pungently, and prove him but a buzzard, while he claimed the honors of a game-cock. We however, have a right to expect and demand more from a veteran author, than from a young and inexperienced one.
