Catalogue Of English Prose Fiction

Excerpt from Catalogue of English Prose Fiction In the same spirit the Aurora Public Library presents the list to its readers as a guide in the selection of what is worth reading in fiction. We miss from the list the names of Fielding and Richardson, fathers of the English novel; of Sienkiewicz, the brilliant Polish novelist; of Cervantes, the Spaniard, whose Don Quixote is among the world-famous books; of Freytag and Auerbach, who have given us such convincing pictures of German life and manners; of Mrs. Stowe, whose Uncle Tom's Cabin was an epoch-making book. But we take the list as we find it, assured that it contains nothing unworthy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
