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.

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.

Excerpt from Schoolboy Days in RussiaI think I know the real culprit. It is one of my col lege mates. A word from me would, perhaps, suffice to immure him in this gloomy prison, to which I was brought two days ago, - to make him the inmate of this damp cell infested with rats and vermin: I can hear the rats running about now, under the dirty straw that serves as my couch. He would receive from the hand of the jailer the loaf of black bread and jug of water which constitute my rations for each day; he would find his fingers and feet become ing more and more benumbed by the cold wind that blows through the bars of my window; he would wear these heavy chains; he would be the Object of general distrust and suspicion.But how can I accuse another person without proofs. Especially when that other person is a schoolmate, and I have only some rather vague charges to make against him, charges based probably to a great extent upon the antipathy and distrust with which he inspired me from the beginning of our acquaintance?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book France made up the bulk of the region that was known to the Romans as Gaul. The Gauls, the largest ethno-linguistic group, were Celtic people speaking the Gaulish language. In the later stages of the Roman Empire, Gaul was subject to barbarian raids and migration, most importantly by the Germanic Franks. In 1328 began a series of conflicts known as the Hundred Years' War between the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet. In the 16th century France developed a great colonial empire, reaching a zenith under the rule of Louis XIV, "The Sun King", who built the Versailles Palace. The monarchy was overthrown in the French Revolution, which resulted in the rise of Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars, resulting in millions of deaths throughout Europe. In the 19th century France wavered between republic and monarchy until the French Third Republic of 1870. France was the scene of heavy fighting against Germany in World War 1 and was conquered by Nazi Germany in World War 2, resulting in a collaborationist Vichy regime (lasting to 1942). Charles de Gaulle established the French Fifth Republic in 1958.Also in this Book Continental European drama has a rich history. In Germany during the 19th century there was a revolution in theater architecture, and the introduction of German Romanticism. German writers increasingly focussed on their Teutonic past and promoted nationalism in the plays of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Friedrich Schiller. In time, Romanticism was adopted in France through the plays of Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Alfred de Musset, and George Sand. European dramatists who were awarded the Nobel Prizes included Jose Echagaray and Jacinto Benavente (Spain), Paul Heyse and Paul Heyse (Germany), and Maurice Maeterlinck (Belgium).And in this Book France is a country in Western Europe. It has long been a centre for art and philosophy and has many of the world UNESCO world heritage sites. It has the largest number of tourists in the world, and is considered a world power both economically and militarily. France is famous for its wine making, and the Alps on its eastern border.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Excerpt from Schoolboy Days in FranceFurther away may be seen carts with gigantic horses harnessed to them, a train of cars Side-tracked on a switch, busy, bustling crews of workmen, white wreaths of steam rising in the air, all the turmoil and activity of a sugar refinery in full blast.It is Sunday to-day, and the Clocks have just struck eleven. But work goes on without cessation, day and night, at the works at this season of the year. The time lost during the hot months has to be made up, when Operations are suspended because the syrup sours.A Cheerful little fire is blazing on the hearth of the salon. We are in October, and although the approaches of winter are as yet scarcely perceptible, mamma's delicate health requires this precaution.Seated at the corner of the fireplace and with her back to the light, She is reading aloud Jules Verne's last romance for the entertainment of the family, While in the opposite corner grandpa, snugly wrapped in his warm dressing-gown, while pretending to give all his attention to the reading, keeps his eyes fixed on the clock and is evidently deeply interested in the movement of the creep ing hands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But it was he, with his kindly honest face, so frank and at the same time so intelligent, his bright eyes, his neatly brushed hair, the repose and distinction of his bearing. I instinctively turned and looked at Baudouin, whose bench was in the second row from mine. I could see that he was no less surprised and delighted than myself. But hush! the master is about to speak. His address is very brief, amounting to nothing scarcely,--only a few words to tell us that he appreciated the difficulty of the task that lies before him. He knows and prizes at its real value M. Auger's profound learning, the sureness and elegance of his methods, the charm of his teaching. Certainly, he cannot hope to equal such a model, or even to approach it. All he can say is that he will spare no efforts to be of service to us in accordance with the measure of his powers, and, if he cannot make us forget the incomparable master whom we have lost, at least endeavour to supply his place in the more essential particulars. All which is said very simply and unaffectedly, in a low but firm voice, underneath which we think we detect the presence of a not too assertive authority. Glancing around the class, I could see that it was pleased with this prologue to the play. In eulogizing M. Auger, M. Pellerin had gone straight to the mark, had touched us all in a tender spot. The charm of a pair of frank, penetrating eyes had done the rest. Youthful affections and respect are easily gained if one only knows how to go about it. It was clear that all our hearts were already enlisted in his favour. Moreover, his would not have been a happy lot who should have attempted to resist. Baudouin and I were on our mettle, like a ...
