“Under this Baconian title an Oxford scholar, Mr. Henry Sturt, rips up
some current philosophic fallacies. Recent British philosophy (and
American also) has been carried captive, as he views it, by a German
invasion inculcating a one-sided idealism, in which the conative
factor of thought is overshadowed by the speculative.... The general
charge is that the ‘idols’ deceive by substituting a static for the
dynamic conception of reality, with resulting damage to various
interests, chiefly those of ethics, politics, and religion.”—Outlook.

“The scene of the story is East Prussia ... and the setting is
agricultural. Two landed proprietors have grown up from childhood with
the love of David and Jonathan.... Leo, having been detected in an
intrigue with the wife of a nobleman of the neighborhood, is
challenged by the injured husband to a duel, slays his opponent, is
sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and, after his release, goes to
South America, for a period of years. Ulrich, in the meanwhile,
knowing nothing of his friend’s guilty relations with the widow of the
slain, offers himself to her in marriage and is accepted. They have
been united for some time, when Leo returns to his home, and at this
point the story opens.... Leo is all the time conscious of the dark
shadow of guilt that separates him from Ulrich. The latter, wholly
unsuspecting, seeks to reknit the old relations, yet must defer to the
stubborn fact that his wife had been made a widow by the deed of his
friend.... Her old passion for her husband’s friend is revived upon
his return, and ... the substance of the book is the struggle between
these two characters-her struggle to bring him back into the old
sinful relation, his to banish her from his thought, and purify his
soul by repentance and expiation.”—Dial.

This book, which won the Nobel peace prize for 1905, is a powerful
plea for universal disarmament. It is the autobiography of an Austrian
countess born with true martial spirit, her only grief that she cannot
win laurels on the field of battle. At seventeen she marries a dashing
young lieutenant and one short year later, clasping her fatherless son
to her heart she awakens to the real horrors of war. Her hatred of war
and warfare is justified by the story of the thirty years that follow.
She draws pictures of agony, disease and mutilation as seen in 1864,
1866, and again when she lost the love of her mature years at Paris,
and she shows between these periods such happy years of peace that the
reader shudders with her at the contrast.

these haunting stories, having a definite culmination in the creation

Waydelin’ is the achievement of the book, in the tragedy and realistic
horror of its setting.” (Critic.)

The “day’s journey” of a novelist and his wife from a state of
infatuation to one of quiet affection carries them thru many stages.
The young writer tires of a quiet country life and seeks emotional
inspiration and sympathy from a frowsy artist of Greek robes and
sandals who poses as a true Bohemian. He neglects his wife and to
cover his latest “friendship” thrusts upon her the society of an old
lover. This old lover inspires her to self assertion and she develops
into a woman of character and talent who wins literary honors for
herself, and turns from an admiring social world to find her husband
once more at her feet.

was everywhere welcomed—even so cordially as by the old Indian with
his limited cow-boy English. “Me damned glad to see you, heap-sleeve

and of feeling.... He took a low, some might say true, view of human
nature, but he constantly sought to relieve miseries of humanity....
The attack upon oppression was the true work of his life. In this he
was absolutely sincere. He told lie after lie, but he never descended
to that most insiduous form of falsehood under which a man forsakes
his own convictions.... He never deserted the cause to which he was
devoted.” (Nation.)
