Excerpt from Jargal: A Novel The following episode, founded upon the revolt of the slaves of San Domingo in 1791, has a circumstantial man ner,1 which would have been enough to prevent the author from publishing it. A sketch of the work, however, having already been printed, and distributed in a limited number of copies, in 1820, at a time when the politics of the day were' very little occupied with Hayti, it is evident that, if the subject he treats has since acquired a new degree of interest, it is not the fault of the author. Events have arranged themselves for the book, not the book for events. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ninety-Three: Two Volumes in One; Bug Jargal-Claude Gueux The thicket was-one of birch-trees, beeches, and oaks; the ground ilat; the thick moss and grass deadened the sound of the men's steps; there were no paths, or only blind ones, which quickly disappeared among the holly, wild Sloes, ferns, hedges of rest-barrow, and high bram bles. It would have been impossible to distinguish a man ten steps off. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Works of Victor Hugo: Hans of Iceland; Bug-Jargal; Claude Gueux Realizing, then, his inability to bring forth, either by talent or knowledge, by wings or by beak, as an ingenious Arabian verse has it, - a preface that would be interesting to his readers, the author has determined to ofler to them here nothing but a serious and candid account of the cor rections that have been made in this second edition. First of all he desires to say that the term second edi tion is decidedly out of place, and that the title of first edition is really applicable to this reprinting, inasmuch as the four unsymmetrical packages of black-and-white spotted grayish paper, which an indulgent public has been kind enough hitherto to accept as the four volumes of Hans of Ice land, have been so desecrated with typographical incongrui ties by a barbarous printer, that the unhappy author, in looking over his unrecognizable offspring, underwent contin ually the agony which a father might feel on recovering his child, mutilated and tattooed at the hands of the Iroquois of Lake Ontario.
