This may be said to be the masterpiece of a novelist who has established
himself as a great master. "The Cabin" was the book which first made
Ibanez's reputation outside Spain, and very large numbers of it have
been sold on the Continent and in America since its first appearance. It
is a vivid presentation of one side of Spanish life, and tells how a
hard-working farmer and his family are oppressed and wronged by his
neighbours, who had determined that the farm should not be tilled.
Disaster overtakes the family at the end of the conflict, and the
elemental theme of a blind communal hatred is thus worked out to its
logical conclusion. The story seems to write itself, so simply, and
perfectly is it done. It is a remarkable work of art.
The Terrible Island
By BEATRICE GRIMSHAW
Author of "In the Strange South Seas," "Red Bob of the Islands," etc.
This story has all the charm and glamour of the South Seas and a
background of grim mystery, which make a plot full of thrills as well as
of delightful romance. "The Lady of Sea," who appears in such strange
fashion and so charms the hearts of Flower and Owen Ireland, is a
delicious heroine, whose romance will appeal to every reader, while
"Rocky Jim" is a remarkable character creation. A novel that will well
support the author's great reputation.
