Synopsis

Book by Keenan Henry F

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Money-M akers was written a year ago or, to be exact, the story was begun, in the early days of February, and ended in the latter days of March, 1884. Had the book come at once before the public, its specific purpose would have been more manifest, and its machinery more transparent. As it is written rather to embalm permanent conditions than to perpetuate controversy, the time lost has made a prefatory word essential. While the delay in publication distorts the realism of fiction into the grossness of the actual, the essence of romance into revelation, the reader who bears the date of writing in mind can not confuse the personages, or misconstrue the incidents, with those of a more recent date to which they bear a whimsical resemblance. The critic, quick to seize salient faults in execution, would in such misconception not only lose the basis and purpose of the parable, but animadvert, not unjustifiably, on the work as a satire upon men and measures, never contemplated in the authors
