Part 8

There can be no greater inspiration and pleasure for lovers of Stevenson and his work than in the diary of his wife, written during their cruise in 1890, with no thought of publication, but, as she says, “to help her husband’s memory where his own diary had fallen in arrears.” It is full of vivid descriptions of strange characters, both native and white, and also gives most fascinating glimpses of Stevenson himself which are a delightful addition to our knowledge of Stevenson, as they have never before been given to the public in any way.

Memories

By JOHN GALSWORTHY

This is a charmingly sympathetic biographical sketch of a dog—a cocker spaniel that came into the author’s possession almost at birth and remained with him through life. It has none of the imaginative exaggeration common in modern animal stories—records nothing improbable at all. But the author’s insight and his power of interpretation individualize the little spaniel and bring him into the reader’s intimate sympathy.

The British Empire and the United States

A Review of Their Relations During the Century of Peace Following the Treaty of Ghent, by WILLIAM ARCHIBALD DUNNING. With an Introduction by the RIGHT HONORABLE VISCOUNT BRYCE and a Preface by NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER

This is the psychological moment for the appearance of a book which explains the century of peace between Great Britain and the United States. When nearly every world power except the United States is at war, the history of our relations with a country, one of whose dominions borders ours for a distance of 3,000 miles, cannot help being intensely interesting and helpful to an understanding of war and peace and their underlying causes.

Here is a book which describes with penetrating analysis and in a thoroughly entertaining manner of telling the work not only of the great modern novelists of the last century, Stevenson, Zola, Balzac, Flaubert, and Thackeray, but also takes up in a chapter entitled “The New Novel” the work of Galsworthy, Mrs. Wharton, Conrad, Wells, Walpole, Bennett and the other more important contemporary novelists.

The Man Behind the Bars

By WINIFRED LOUISE TAYLOR

To gain the confidence of convicts, to know their inner lives, and through this knowledge to attempt to better prison conditions and methods of punishment throughout the country is Miss Taylor’s life aim. In this book, composed of a series of anecdotes, amusing, pathetic, and all intensely interesting, she has embodied the experience of many years of concentrated work in this field. In its sympathy, an essentially human quality, the book is thoroughly fascinating and gives the point of view of a class too little known to most of us.

TALES OF TWO COUNTRIES

By MAXIM GORKY

$1.25 net; weight about 18 oz.

After a number of years, the potency of the great Russian’s pen is again exercised. This commanding volume of stories discloses varied aspects of the foremost living writer among those who attracted universal attention to modern Russian literature. The folk and psychology of Italy, to which country he retired in exile, supply the themes of thirteen of the twenty-two tales, the others are of Russian life. Gorky’s admirers will find in the collection a reaffirmation of the art which secured his high place among interpreters of life through fiction.

DRAMATIC WORKS: Volume V

By GERHART HAUPTMANN

$1.50 net; weight 22 oz.

CONTAINS: “SCHLUCK AND JAU;” “AND PIPPA DANCES;” “CHARLEMAGNE’S HOSTAGE.”

The second group of Hauptmann’s Symbolic and Legendary Dramas gains unity by a recognizable oneness of inspiration. The poet has become a seeker; he questions the nature and quality of various ultimate values; he abandons the field of the personal and individual life and “sends his soul into the infinite.” [A special circular, with contents of the preceding volumes, will be mailed upon request to the publisher.]

WISCONSIN PLAYS

$1.25 net; weight about 18 oz.

CONTAINS: “THE NEIGHBORS,” by Zona Gale; “IN HOSPITAL,” by Thomas H. Dickinson; “GLORY OF THE MORNING,” by William Ellery Leonard.

A noteworthy manifestation of the interest in the stage and its literature is the work, both in writing of plays and their performance, of the gifted band organized as the Wisconsin Dramatic Society. The three one-act plays in this volume are fruits of the movement. Having met with success in the theatre, they are now offered to the creative reader to whose imagination dramatic literature is a stimulus.

SELF-CULTURE THROUGH THE VOCATION

By EDWARD HOWARD GRIGGS

50 cents net; weight about 8 oz.

This new book in the Art of Life Series deals with work as a way to culture and service. When the cry everywhere is vocational education, it is worth while to stop and ask, What of the education that is possible through the vocation itself? This question is studied in six chapters, with a lightness of touch that saves the teaching from didacticism and gives it universal human appeal. The book is a companion study to the author’s popular “The Use of the Margin.” Dr. Griggs is particularly satisfying in such brief, trenchant studies of deep problems of life, and the new book should be of special value to young people and to men and women longing to make each day yield its full return in culture and wisdom.

THE DEATH OF A NOBODY

By JULES ROMAINS

$1.25 net; weight about 18 oz.

An amazingly perfect production of incomparable restraint and power; it reveals with a quality enchaining the attention, the interwoven web of human revelations, romantic from their very prosaicness. The life of one in other’s minds—the “social consciousness” about which the sociologists have developed abstruse theories, is here portrayed explicitly, with a fascination no theory can have. The uniqueness of the book is suggested by the fact that the “Nobody” about whom the action revolves dies in the second chapter. Though fiction, it will supply convincing arguments to believers in life after death. It is not only a masterpiece of literary art, but might well be used as the concrete text of the mind of the crowd. Translated from the French by Desmond MacCarthy and Sydney Waterlow.

All of these may be obtained from booksellers or from the publisher. Upon application to the latter, a list of interesting publications of 1914 may be obtained.
