Description:Excerpt from The Egoist: A Comedy in NarrativeComedy is a game played to throw reﬂections upon social life, and it deals with human nature in the drawing room of civilized men and women, where we have no dust of the struggling outer world, no mire, no violent crashes, to make the correctness of the representation convincing. Credulity Is not wooed through the impressionable senses nor have we recourse to the small circular glow of the watchmaker' 8 eye to raise in bright relief minutest grains of evidence for the routing of incredulity. The Comic Spirit conceives a definite situation for a number of char acters, and rejects all accessories in the exclusive pursuit of them and their speech. For, being a spirit, he hunts the Spirit in men, vision and ardour constitute his merit he has not a thought of persuading you to believe in him. Follow and you will see. But there is a question of the value of a run at his heels.Now the world is possessed of a certain big book, the biggest book on earth; that might indeed be called the Book of Earth; whose title is the Book of Egoism, and it is a book full of the world's wisdom. So full of it, and of such dimensions is this book, in which the generations have written ever since they took to writing, that to be profitable to us the Book needs a powerful compression.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
