A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Distinguished by humour, quick observation, and effective and economical writing."
— Daily News and Leader.

"Mr. Ervine, who is familiar to friends of the Irish Theatre as the Author of ' Mixed Marriages,' brings to these little tales the same sanity of judgment and firsthand knowledge of the lives of the respectable poor which were such marked features of his play."
— Morning Post.

"The stories in this book are all admirable. Most of them are quite perfect in their form.... Mr. Ervine is always himself and always interesting. His little book will delight the discerning."
— Daily Express (London).

"It is only a blatant and base age which overlooks its short story writers like the present one, and every newcomer to their ranks deserves the congratulations due to heroes.... Gifted with insight into human nature ...never fails to strike the true and human note in realism."
— Daily Citizen.

"Mr. Ervine writes with understanding and sympathy, and the result is a book of real human interest ; one that can hardly fail to arouse emotions of pity and of a bettei." understanding of the lot of all those who are desolate and oppressed." —T.M.P. in The New Witness. "The writing of sketches and short stories is, as Mr. Ervine's Irish characters would say, 'the quare business.' There is no such thing as an infallible recipe for their concoction, each master of this delightful baffling little art having his own private and incommunicable method. ...This book contains seventeen studies ; not one of which but displays admirable craftsmanship ...the mere technical execution is almost perfect, with not a word out of place or redundant, with construction neatly balanced, and with every point made with ease and precision." —P.W., in The Manchester Guardian. "Mr. Ervine is a very considerate artist. He makes his effects with an extraordinary economy of material." —The Star. "This slim little book of stories and sketches shows Mr. Ervine to be a -man of greater variety than one might have gleaned from his plays. They have all the power of observation that 'Mixed Marriage' had; but they have also an unexpectedly wide range and a genuine capacity for expression combined with a reticence that makes for true realism."
— Pall Mall Gazette.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
