Books with author Richard Gary

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.

Excerpt from The Universal Anthology, Vol. 23: A Collection of the Best Literature, Ancient, Medieval and Modern, With Biographical and Explanatory NotesI write for the reader who has a taste for discussing the theory and technics of art. But he who simply seeks inspiration from art need not linger, certain that he loses nothing by doing so; and my own sympathy and that of all artists will always be for him. For it is only a fresh imagination, free from rhetorical pre conceptions that can truly enjoy works of art and breathe freely in the world of fancy. Besides, say it who will, no master of marionettes likes to show the construction of his figures, with their cords and springs, and if he does sometimes do so it is because he is either impelled to defend himself from the faults attributed to him, or has to warn the public against the errors of an unfair or precipitate judgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Universal Anthology, Vol. 29: A Collection of the Best Literature, Ancient, Medieval and Modern, With Biographical and Explanatory NotesThe former aspirant to a librarianship is now one of the French writers most widely known in the world, and also one of those with whom Paris concerns itself with most curiosity; both from the singularity of his character, and because he attracts the public attention as a dramatic author, as a polemist in the most ardent social questions, as a generous lover of fine arts, and as a hospitable gentleman.He rises at dawn, winter as well as in summer. The letters received by his friends during the day are all written by candle light while they are sleeping. He works with vim until noon, and at noon his day as a writer is finished. He spends the afternoon either in the Bois de Boulogne, on horseback, or in the studios of painters; and once a week he gives a dinner in his house to an army of friends, the majority of them writers and artists, and on whom, between the soup and the fruit, he pours out a treasure of witticisms, anecdotes, political epigrams, and of keen, fresh literary criticisms, which are afterwards passed from mouth to mouth, and scattered through the papers and through the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
