Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Stories And Essays"" is a collection of literary works by William Dean Howells, an American novelist, literary critic, and playwright. The book includes a variety of short stories and essays that showcase Howells' unique writing style and his keen observations of American life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories are a mix of humor, drama, and social commentary, exploring themes such as love, marriage, class, and the changing nature of American society. The essays cover a range of topics, including literary criticism, politics, and travel. Howells' writing is known for its realism and attention to detail, and this collection is a testament to his skill as a writer and his contributions to American literature.The much-perverted saying of Moliere, that he took his own where he found it, is perhaps in the consciousness of those who appropriate the things other people have rushed in with before them. But really they seem to need neither excuse nor defence with the impartial public if they are caught in the act of reclaiming their property or despoiling the rash intruder upon their premises.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
