A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Madonna ofO urS quare You, perhaps, have never taken a walk down Thompson Street right round the comer of Washington Square and, therefore, are not familiar with the row of a dozen or more small wooden houses which the irony of fate has left there among brick mansions and tenef ment buildings, a stones throw away from the thimdering Elevated; a sad memento of the Greenwich Village of yore. But if you ever strolled past these houses you must have noticed the one whose door was painted white, which looked so clean amidst the ugliness of a neglected side street. I ts windows shon in the sim; a couple of geraniums were on the window sill, and white muslin curtains swinging rythmically with the blowing wind permitted now and then a peep into the rooms. The sidewalk was always well swept, and most likely a baby carriage would be standing before the open house door; a white baby carriage with netting spread all over it, a fat little baby slumbering peacefully in it, or playing with its tiny feet, searching with big black eyes for its mother. Often when I passed the little house I felt happy because there was such an idyll in this noisy side street. And we all are glad to see love in a little white cottage with a baby carriage standing in front of the door. It is one of the tragedies of a big city that we live next to people who could be our friends and whose friends we could be, but whom we never meet We pass them daily; a change in the familiar surroundings would cause us to wonder and be curious, but we rarely take the initiative or trouble to inquire. We know we should lend our help if needed, but dont want to proffer it, and, therefore, we walk on and dont turn to the right or the left: ships that pass in the night.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
