=YATES, L. B.= Autobiography of a race horse. *$1.75 (3c) Doran

20–10769

A story of horse racing containing considerable inside information on
racing methods, comparisons of English and American systems of
training and riding, and something of the history of racing in
America. Like the ugly duckling, the horse who is made the narrator of
the story shows little promise in early youth, but the young master
who buys the colt at auction for a paltry thirty dollars is justified
in his judgment. He tells of his training, his stable companions and
his first races, adding also an account of a race into the Cherokee
Strip at the time it was opened for settlement.

* * * * *

“An extremely entertaining romance, filled with authentic gossip of
past eras on the American track. The story has many thrilling moments
that are lightened by a deft humorous touch that makes the book
pleasing to read.”

In his preface to the story Owen Wister assures the reader that the
tale is true. This is well for it is as strange as fiction. A young
soldier in an aeroplane was captured with his pilot by the Turks near
Baghdad. He is a prisoner of war for nearly three years; escapes, is
recaptured and escapes again. He adopts various disguises, once as a
woman, once as a Hungarian mechanic, and his adventures and
experiences are altogether unusual and romantic. Life in a Turkish
prison camp is likewise very different from the prison camp of the
western front.

the heart of this oppressed race in the voice of one of their number.
The sketches are: Wings; Hunger; The lost “beautifulness”; The free

When Fred Wootten marries a beautiful young wife and brings her home
to South Africa he surprises all his friends, not least of them George
and Maud Allerton. Mrs Allerton welcomes the bride and does all in her
power to make her happy in her new home. But neither she nor the
hapless husband is aware of the sudden passion that awakens between
George Allerton and Gerda Wootten and up to the moment of flight both
are unaware of what is impending. George and Gerda go to England.
Wootten is willing to set his wife free but for the sake of her
children Maud refuses to consider divorce. Eventually Gerda comes to
feel the guilt of her action and sends George from her. The title is
taken from a Chinese proverb, “Almonds come to those who have no

=YOUNG, FRANCIS BRETT.= Young physician. *$2.50 Dutton

20–8520

“This story proceeds by definite stages. First of all we have the boy
in the English public school. We find him suffering keenly from the
roughness and cruelty of public school life. His own escape from this
torment is in his dreams. He confides these dreams to his mother and
she responds with an understanding which tightened the bond between
them. After his mother has died, Edwin’s father has a period of
poignant self-revelation. He takes Edwin on a bicycle trip to the
country where his boyhood was spent. His father uses rather undue
influence in persuading him to give up his chosen career in order to
study medicine. It is easy to understand that the father longs to see
his own personal ambitions fulfilled in the boy, but after the first
Edwin himself becomes interested in the work. We see him in the
medical school, in the dissecting room. When he discovers late in his
medical school course that his father is planning to marry again,
Edwin is forced to leave home by an interior urge too strong to be
overborne. It is their definite point of cleavage.”—Boston Transcript

19–18640

Two stories translated from the Spanish by George Allan England. In
the first, an honest, faithful, industrious locomotive engineer
marries a young girl of provocative beauty. In his zeal to get on, and
to provide properly for her in case he should suddenly die, he insists
on their taking as boarder a friend of his who is fond of “wine,
women, and song.” Not until three years pass does he learn that his
friend has been too intimate with his wife; and although he knows it
must cost him his home, his delight in his wife and his gay little
son, he kills his deceiving friend in a duel. After twenty years in
prison he returns to a wife hardened and made ugly by work, and a
dissolute son. He is happy again, prosperity comes; but another duel
occurs through no fault of his, in which he is killed by the son who
is not his son. The second is a passionate story of the power of a
courtesan over a young student from the country. The translator
contributes an appreciative estimate of the author.

=ZANELLA, NORA.= By the waters of Fiume. *$1.35 (*3s 6d) Longmans 940.3436

20–4795

“This little book purports to have been written by an English girl who
married a young Italian of Fiume just before the war. The husband had
to serve as a conscript in the Austrian army, and was shot for
refusing to fire on the Italians. The wife survived him only a few
months. Whether or not the story is true it represents faithfully
enough the Italian sentiments of the majority of the people of Fiume
and their sufferings during a war in which all their sympathies were
with the Allies and against their Austrian and Croatian oppressors.”
(Spec) The facts of the author’s life are told by her sister, Madame
de Lucchi, in an introduction.

=ZILBOORG, GREGORY.= Passing of the old order in Europe. *$2.50 (4c) Seltzer 940.5

The author has lived through the war as an observer and is not writing
an academic treatise or a book based on authorities but claims merely
to be analysing his own experiences. It is his conviction that “in the
course of the struggles of the present-day world, humanity has
developed a very serious disease.... The disease is mob psychosis. The
contagion was carried by the war, by revolution, by political lying,
by diplomatic betrayal, social disturbances and moral suppression.”
(Introd.) The book concerns itself with the diagnosis of the disease
and the possibilities of restoring health. Contents: The impasse of
politics; The debauch of European thought; The morass of war; The
recovery of revolution; Revolutionary contradictions; Additional
contemplations; Light and shadows; Consequences and possibilities.

=ZIMMERN, HELEN, and AGRESTI, ANTONIO.= New Italy. *$2 (3c) Harcourt 914.5

(Eng ed 19–264)

The authors say in the foreword that Italy’s glorious past stands in
the way of comprehension of her present, that she is still for the
average Englishman and American the land of the renaissance and the
Risorgimento, or the country of the picturesque brigand and lazzarone,
while in fact the modern Italian is not a romanticist but a
positivist, not an excitable, emotional individual but a reflective
one. The great change that has come over the people, especially during
the last twenty years, has surprised even the nation itself into
knowing itself for the first time. The endeavor of the book is to give
a short, synthetic view of Italy as she was at the outbreak of the
war, as she is today and as she is likely to be after the conclusion
of peace, for Italy’s entrance into the war marks the end of the book.
The three main divisions of the contents are politics, civil
questions, and Italy and the great war. There is an index.

=ZWEMER, SAMUEL MARINUS.= Influence of animism on Islam; an account of popular superstitions. il *$2 Macmillan 297

20–8879

The object of the book is to show how animism, the superstitious
belief in spirits, witches and demons, on which all pagan religions
are founded, still controls Islam in its popular manifestations.
Mohammedanism, as an outgrowth of paganism, Judaism and Christianity,
is characterized as a religion of compromise, that has easily yielded
to the pagan survivals in the countries over which it has spread its
influence. That these superstitions are popular expressions that have
nothing to do with the monotheism of Islam, does not make them less
pernicious. The contents are: Islam and animism; Animism in the creed
and the use of the rosary; Animistic elements in Moslem prayer; Hair,
finger-nails and the hand; The ‘Aqiqa’ sacrifice; The familiar spirit
or Qarina; Jinn; Pagan practices in connection with the pilgrimage;
Magic and sorcery; Amulets, charms and knots; Tree, stone and serpent
worship; The Zar: exorcism of demons. There are illustrations and a
bibliography.
