Excerpt from Modern Women in Love: Sixty Twentieth-Century Masterpieces of FictionThus it is immediately apparent that the editors have not relied upon the inevitable bedside tales, the set-pieces, the hackneyed Stand-bys, which fill the conventional Treasuries with the (wet familiar. They have not included everything, or nearly everything they may have hoped to reprint. The Severe birth control exer cised by publishers makes it impossible to represent every author who might be worthy of inclusion. This anthology, like every other anthology, is a compromise between the complete and perfect compendium existing in the editor's mind and the com pilation permitted by the hydra-headed Ogres who control the permissions department in all the publishing houses. But it is equally obvious that the editors, with their own zcriteria and te markable rightness of choice, enrich the reader's experience. The skillfully condensed notes, the supplementary guides, the very division of the volume into two parts-the first of which might be classified as organized love, and the second (which is devoted to the perverse and insoluble problems) to What might be called disorganized love - add to one's comprehension.The stories contained in the book are more than stories. They are strange, sometimes secret, and.always revealing episodes Of life beneath the surface, beyond the event. In each case the editors go straight to the core; their labors consist not only In: selecting but in probing. Again and again they expose crucial Situations: the book is literally a series of contrasting climaxes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nelson Mandela is one of the world's most revered public figures, a man synonymous with the long, bitter struggle to rid South Africa of an apartheid regime and replace it with a multi-racial democracy. Today he is seen as the face of world freedom, an ambassador for civil rights, a heroic liberator whose influence and image of moral integrity extend way beyond his homeland. Fully illustrated, this book chronicles the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela, from his days as a student activist and guerrilla leader to his position as iconic statesman. After spending 27 years in prison, his eventual release and election as South Africa's first black president were landmark events in 20th century history.

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.
