_Heinemann's International Library._
EDITED BY EDMUND GOSSE.
_New Review._--"If you have any pernicious remnants of literary
chauvinism I hope it will not survive the series of foreign classics of
which Mr. William Heinemann, aided by Mr. Edmund Gosse, is publishing
translations to the great contentment of all lovers of literature."
_Times._--"A venture which deserves encouragement."
_Each Volume has an Introduction specially written by the Editor._
Price, in paper covers, 2_s._ 6_d._ each, or cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._
IN GOD'S WAY. From the Norwegian of BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.
_Athenaeum._--"Without doubt the most important and the most
interesting work published during the twelve months..... There are
descriptions which certainly belong to the best and cleverest
things our literature has ever produced. Amongst the many
characters, the doctor's wife is unquestionably the first. It
would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined
than this charming personage."
PIERRE AND JEAN. From the French of GUY DE MAUPASSANT.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"So fine and faultless, so perfectly
balanced, so steadily progressive, so clear and simple and
satisfying. It is admirable from beginning to end."
_Athenaeum._--"Ranks amongst the best gems of modern French
fiction."
THE CHIEF JUSTICE. From the German of KARL EMIL FRANZOS,
Author of "For the Right," &c.
_New Review._--"Few novels of recent times have a more sustained
and vivid human interest."
_Christian World._--"A story of wonderful power ... as free from
anything objectionable as 'The Heart of Midlothian.'"
WORK WHILE YE HAVE THE LIGHT. From the Russian of Count LYOF TOLSTOY.
_Liverpool Mercury._--"Marked by all the old power of the great
Russian novelist."
_Manchester Guardian._--"Readable and well translated; full of
high and noble feeling."
FANTASY. From the Italian of MATILDE SERAO.
_National Observer._--"The strongest work from the hand of a woman
that has been published for many a day."
_Scottish Leader._--"The book is full of a glowing and living
realism.... There is nothing like 'Fantasy' in modern literature....
It is a work of elfish art, a mosaic of light and love, of right
and wrong, of human weakness and strength, and purity and wantonness,
pieced together in deft and witching precision."
FROTH. From the Spanish of Don ARMANDO PALACIO-VALDES.
_Daily Telegraph._--"Vigorous and powerful in the highest degree.
It abounds in forcible delineation of character, and describes
scenes with rare and graphic strength."
FOOTSTEPS OF FATE. From the Dutch of LOUIS COUPERUS.
_Daily Chronicle._--"A powerfully realistic story which has been
excellently translated."
