(Forgotten Books, July 11, 2012)
Excerpt from A Country DoctorIt was night now; it was too late in the year for the chirp of any insects; the moving air, which could hardly be called wind, swept over in slow waves, and a few dry leaves rustled on an old haw thorn tree which grew beside the hollow where a house had been, and a low sound came from the river. The whole country side seemed asleep in the darkness, but the lonely woman felt no lack of companionship it was well suited to her own mood that the world slept and said nothing to her, it seemed as if she were the only creature alive.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
