Vain Fortune

(Forgotten Books Jan. 2, 2019)
Excerpt from Vain FortuneThe union of the texts was no doubt accomplished by Madam Couperus, without the alteration of a sen tence but no such accomplished editing is possible to me; I am a victim to the disease of rewriting, and the inclusion of the hundred or more pages of new matter written for the American edition led me into a third revision of the story. But no more than in the second has the skeleton, or the attitude of the skeleton been altered in this third version, only flesh and muscle have been added, and, I think, a little life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
