Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Port Tarascon: The Last Adventures of the Illustrious Tartarin It is impossible not to ask one's self whether the author foresaw from the first the sequel and the conclusion of Tartarin's life; whether the first episode was a part of a conscious plan. The reason of this curiosity is that everything fits and corresponds so beautifully with everything else - the later developments are contained so in germ in the earlier. But curiosity as to the way exquisite things are produced in literature is an attitude as to which the profit is mainly in the healthy exercise of the faculty; for the ques tions it presses most eagerly are the most unan swerable. They are not, at any rate, the ques tions the man of genius himself most confidently meets. It is probable that Tartarin's full possi bilities glimmered before his biographer even in the early chapters, but that they remained vague, in their vividness, till they were attempted - just as the lair of the lion and the land of the glacier both attracted and eluded the prudent Tartarin himself, till the rising growl of public opinion put him really on his mettle. The rest of the whole work - its general harmony and roundness - is neatness and tact of execution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
