BOMBAY DUCKS: An account of some of the Every-day Birds and Beasts found in a Naturalist’s El Dorado · With Numerous Illustrations from Photographs of Living Birds by Captain F. D. S. Fayrer, I.M.S.
It has long been a reproach to England that only one volume by ANATOLE FRANCE has been adequately rendered into English; yet outside this country he shares with TOLSTOI the distinction of being the greatest and most daring student of humanity now living.
¶ There have been many difficulties to encounter in completing arrangements for a uniform edition, though perhaps the chief barrier to publication here has been the fact that his writings are not for babes—but for men and the mothers of men. Indeed, some of his Eastern romances are written with biblical candour. “I have sought truth strenuously,” he tells us, “I have met her boldly. I have never turned from her even when she wore an unexpected aspect.” Still, it is believed that the day has come for giving English versions of all his imaginative works, and of his monumental study JOAN OF ARC, which is undoubtedly the most discussed book in the world of letters to-day.
¶ MR. JOHN LANE has pleasure in announcing that he will commence publication of the works of M. ANATOLE FRANCE in English, under the general editorship of MR. FREDERIC CHAPMAN, with the following volumes:
THE RED LILY MOTHER OF PEARL THE GARDEN OF EPICURUS THE CRIME OF SYLVESTRE BONNARD THE WELL OF ST. CLARE THE OPINIONS OF JEROME COIGNARD JOCASTA AND THE FAMISHED CAT BALTHASAR THE ASPIRATIONS OF JEAN SERVIEN THE ELM TREE ON THE MALL MY FRIEND’S BOOK THE WICKER-WORK WOMAN THAÏS AT THE SIGN OF THE QUEEN PÉDAUQUE JOAN OF ARC (2 vols.)
